The Sahara, Your Way
Not everyone fits a template. This proposed bespoke service lets you mix the activities, pace and comforts you want around Merzouga and Erg Chebbi, and our team turns it into a realistic plan. This is a proposed signature concept — every element is subject to confirmation by our team when you enquire, depending on season, weather and local availability.
- Flexible — from a few hours to several days
- Multi-day
- Merzouga, Erg Chebbi and surroundings
Proposed experience. This is an original concept we are developing. It is not yet a fixed product — ask us whether it can be arranged for your dates and group, and we will confirm exactly what is possible.
Who it’s for: Anyone with a clear idea — or none at all — who wants an experience designed around their interests, pace, group and budget.
About this experience
Start with a conversation. Tell us who is travelling, when, what excites you and what you would rather avoid. Perhaps it is a sunrise walk and a cooking session; perhaps a two-night camp stay with quad biking, stargazing and a village visit; perhaps a quiet wellness retreat on request with a qualified instructor.
We then suggest a plan with honest timings — including travel to and from Merzouga, which is a long way from Marrakech or Fes and always needs at least one overnight on the road. The plan lists what is included as a typical plan and what still needs confirming.
Elements can be drawn from our camel, camp, cultural, nature, celebration and adventure activities, or from the other signature concepts. Off-road activities stay in designated areas, and wild camping is only possible where legal, safe and permitted, subject to local authorisation and community consent.
Nothing is fixed until you agree to it, and every element is confirmed in writing. Prices are given on request.

What’s included
Potential inclusions

- Travel insurance
We confirm these details in your written quote:
- All elements, timings and accommodation in your written proposal

Safety, ages & accessibility
Safety guidance depends on the activities chosen. Off-road vehicles operate only in designated areas with a briefing and protective gear, and minimum ages are set by the operator — to be confirmed. Camel rides and sandboarding are not advised for people with back problems or during pregnancy. Summer heat and winter cold nights are both real factors; we will advise on timings for your season.
Good to know
- The more you tell us, the better the first proposal
- Merzouga needs overnight travel from Marrakech or Fes
- Peak periods (spring, autumn, holidays) book early
- Night-sky elements depend on moon phase and weather
