ACTIVITIES:  Sunset and Sunrise Camel Rides

Magical, exotic, mysterious and hypnotic: the dunes are spectacular at any time, but at the time of sunrise it is breathtakingly beautiful and at sunset Erg Chebbi truly is superb. As the colours and shapes shift and change, the light fades to give way to the most incredible star filled sky, they feel so close and the sky so expansive you feel it´s possible to reach up and touch them.

By far the best way to experience this phenomenon is astride a camel, the ultimate ancient method of transport for the desert. It is hardly a surprise that taking a camel ride at these times of day is one of the most sought after experiences for people coming to Morocco on holidays. It has a magnetic quality and a tangible feeling that leaves an indelible memory that resurfaces in your subconscious to tempt you back.
