Sunrise Camel Ride in the Merzouga Dunes
Merzouga, Morocco · with Achabou Luxury Camp
Start the day on a camel and see the first light on the Sahara.
About this activity
Prefer the morning? Choose the sunrise ride instead of the sunset – it is also included for every guest of Achabou Luxury Camp.
We wake you before dawn, the camels are ready at the camp, and the caravan walks quietly into the dunes while the sky is still blue. From the top of a dune you watch the sun rise over the desert and the long shadows of the camels on the sand. The morning air is fresh and the dunes are calm.
Back at the camp, breakfast is waiting. Visitors can join a sunrise ride for €25 per person.
