Your camel man awaits you next to dunes for lifting you by his camels to the desert camp. The camel ride takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes; including an amazing stop for an incredible sunset at the top of a high dune in the middle of the desert. Besides your camel guide will take several memorable pictures for you along the ride.

Arriving at the well-equipped camp, you will be welcomed with Moroccan tea and some cookies by the camp workers. In an hour, the working staff serve you a delicious dinner, then they make a fire outside the camp under a sky full of stars, where they will be playing Berber and African music, while you enjoy and dance around the fire.
