Here the walls of the canyon rise up to 300 meters that provide an amazing view. Go for a short walk through the gorge, and forget all the noise and fuss around.

With Merzouga approaching the view of the golden sand dunes of Erg Chebbi is going to be the beginning of your Saharan experience.. On arrival – take a short break then you get your camels for an early tour into the inland sand dunes. Being a desert, the sand gets light up when the sun sets making it a perfect station to take artistic photographs. Reach the luxury desert camp and have a Berber dinner in the camp with massive sky of the Sahara desert. There is always live drumming, singing, and a feeling of relaxation which I think comes from being surrounded by stars throughout the evening.
Get up early to watch the sun rise over the dunes this is really a cherished experience in life.. The day after breakfast is normally packed with some kind of full desert adventure and or cultural discoveries. Go sandboarding on the slopes of the dunes or go for a wild ride on quad bike in Sahara.

Saying goodbye to the day with starry skies in the throat open desert behind the dunes; your second day in the Sahara is as enchanting as the first one.
Today is the last day in the sahara of Merzouga thus it is advisable to eat breakfast in the morning..
