Camel treks into the Erg Chebbi dunes and nights under the stars.

Merzouga sits at the edge of the Erg Chebbi, towering orange sand dunes where camel treks lead to desert camps for a night under the stars. The road there passes the film-set town of Ouarzazate, the kasbah of Aït Benhaddou and the Todgha Gorge near Tinghir.
