Itinerary
Sunset Experience in the Merzouga Dunes
Meet your guide at our base in Hassilabied in the late afternoon. After a short briefing, begin your journey toward the dunes. You may reach the sunset viewpoint by camel, quad, or buggy, depending on your preference each offering a different way to experience the desert.
Arrive at a carefully selected dune with panoramic views. As the sun lowers, watch the desert change color from warm gold to deep orange and soft pink. Enjoy the silence, take unforgettable photos, or simply sit on the dune and absorb the moment. Your guide will be nearby to assist while giving you space to enjoy the magic of the Sahara.
As the sun disappears and the desert cools, begin your return journey under the soft light of dusk. The peaceful ride back to Hassilabied marks the perfect end to a serene and memorable desert experience, one that stays with you long after the sand leaves your shoes.
