What time does the sunrise ride start?

About 45–60 minutes before sunrise – between around 5:30 in summer and 7:00 in winter. We confirm the exact time the day before.

Is it safe for young children?

Yes. The camels walk slowly, led by a camel guide, and children can ride together with a parent.

Where does the tour start and end?

It starts in Merzouga – we pick you up at your hotel, riad or meeting point – and ends in Merzouga.

Is this tour private?

Yes. Only you and your travel companions, with your own vehicle and English-speaking driver. We never mix groups.

Can I customise this itinerary?

Absolutely. Add nights, change the start or end city, upgrade the hotels or the tent, or add activities – just tell us what you would like.

How do I book and pay?
