Welcome To Camel Trek Auberge le Petit Prince
Welcome to our Camel Trekking in the Sand dunes of Erg Chebbi Merzouga
A visit to the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi, the largest dunes in North Africa, is an experience everyone should have in their lifetime. The Sahara desert of Merzouga is a trip that you will think about forever. Imagine yourself riding a camel, following the guide through the Sahara desert, the orange dunes rising around you to heights of 300 meters. All you can hear are the footsteps of the camel on the soft sand as you enjoy the solitude of the seemingly endless landscape. During the day the sky is vast and blue contrasting the backdrop of the dunes, and at night you see millions of bright stars. The desert is a peaceful escape from the rush and noise of the cities.

There are a number of options for your camel trek, starting from a day outing to a two-week expedition? The ideal time for camel trekking is from September to April, but you can spend the night in our camp at any season.

Camel Trekking in the Erg Chebbi Dunes of Merzouga (1 Night)

In the late afternoon we will depart from the local hotel Auberge Le Petit Prince, situated at the food of the sand dunes. The trek takes you for a 1.5 hour trip through the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi to our desert camp. The nomad tents are well equipped to handle the desert weather, and the camp is furnished with modern toilet facilities. The tents are made from camel hair, typical of the nomad people, and each tent has a color theme and is decorated in traditional fabrics. From here you can explore and climb the dunes, try sandboarding, and take pictures and enjoy the sunset over the massive dunes. At night, there will be a traditional dinner of around a campfire, or in the tents, depending on weather. You will be treated to a drumming performance from the Berber guides and have the opportunity to hear traditional music. You will spend the night in tents, and in the morning, after waking up early to see the sunrise, you will ride the camels back to Merzouga. The hotel will provide breakfast and showers, and you can relax before continuing on your journey.
