Just before you leave for the desert of Merzouga, visit Erfoud, famous for its international fair dedicated to date palms and for its design creations made with local fossils. In Merzouga, you will switch your ride with a friendly camel to explore the sands of Erg Chebbi.

Enjoy your first night under the stars, sing and dance around the fire as long as you like, then you can rest in your well-equipped private tent.
