Afterward, head directly to Merzouga, where the Berbers will greet you with mint tea. Next, embark on a camel ride to witness the beautiful sunset over the dunes. Finally, spend the night at a standard or luxury camp, with dinner and breakfast included.

At night, while having your evening meal, the locals will happily play their favorite drum music around a campfire. Afterward, before going to bed, you may want to spend more time enjoying the desert’s silence and stargazing.
