Sahara Desert Merzouga was incredible 🗺️

#desert My camel-riding adventure in the Sahara Desert at Merzouga was a dream come true! 🌵🐪 Located in southeastern Morocco, Merzouga is known for its stunning Erg Chebbi dunes, some of which rise up to 150 meters high. The experience began with a short drive from the village to the edge of the desert, where I was introduced to my friendly camel guide and my camel for the day. The ride cost about $40 per person, which included the guide, the camel, and even a small meal. Riding a camel isn't the most comfortable experience, but there's something magical about swaying through the desert on the back of one of these gentle creatures. As we made our way into the heart of the dunes, the landscape became more surreal, with endless golden sand stretching as far as the eye could see. The silence of the desert was only broken by the sound of the wind and the occasional grunt from the camels. 🐪 The highlight was watching the sunset from the top of a high dune – the sky turned a brilliant orange and pink, and the temperature dropped, making everything feel cooler and more relaxed. After the ride, we set up camp in a traditional Berber tent. Dinner was a delicious tagine cooked over an open fire, followed by music and dancing under the stars. 🌌 I even had the chance to try sandboarding down the dunes, which was both thrilling and hilarious! The night sky in the Sahara is something else – the Milky Way was visible, and the stars seemed close enough to touch. If you're ever in Morocco, a camel trek in Merzouga is a must-do. The combination of breathtaking scenery, warm hospitality, and the unique desert experience makes it unforgettable. 🌅 #trip #saharadesert #merzouga #camelriding #desertsunset #berberculture
