Itinerary and highlights
Venture beyond the usual tourist routes and experience the Sahara the way nomads have for generations. This overnight Jeep safari takes you deep into remote desert terrain with an experienced Berber nomad guide, far from crowded camel camps and well-traveled paths.
Travel by 4×4 Jeep across golden dunes, fossil beds, and hidden oases inaccessible by standard tours. As the sun sets, arrive at a secluded desert camp where a traditional Berber dinner is prepared over an open fire. Spend the evening stargazing, listening to stories of desert life, and enjoying the profound silence of the Sahara.
Sleep comfortably under the open sky or in a simple nomad tent, then wake early to witness a spectacular desert sunrise before returning to Merzouga the next morning.
