trek in the Sahara Desert... Merzouga!

trek in the desert - sunrise

trek in the desert - sunset


I always wonder what the most proper attitude is in the desert, in front of the majesty of the sun.

No doubt it is a fascinating experience, a very precious memory to bring home: just don't forget to choose the right company for your camel trek in the desert! We are waiting for you at Sahara Atlas Tours!



A camel ride through the dunes is a suitable activity for everyone: your children will love it!

You may choose among many options: a short ride to a permanent Berber camp, where we will be having dinner while listening to drums in the night and enjoying an unforgettable stargazing session, before sleeping in a Berber tent or directly on the open air in summertime; a short ride to the dunes and then spend the night in a comfortable hotel in Merzouga near the desert; a longer trek in the desert, with the possibility to spend two or three nights in the desert, visiting the oasis and sharing the life of nomads in their everyday activities.

MOROCCAN TRAVEL MEMORIES: ADVENTURES AND HAPPY ENDS

IT WAS on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils.

well... don't panic! I have been reading Mrs. Shelley recently and I was just thinking about it!

and his masrterpiece reminded me of a November night in my homecountry, during a fab tour a couple of years ago!


The weather on the edge of the Sahara desert may be unexpected !
Believe me, it will not take anything away from an incredible trip!

My brilliant customers and I (I told you they are special friends for me, didn't I?) were heading southwards, in direction of Merzouga.
Well... we had simply to stop and we could but watch the storm unfold!
We took advantage of a fantastic terrace (a covered terrace) in our hotel: my customers were sooo happy!
They told me it was a very impressive experience and an unusual memory to bring home! Such an unforgettable adventure!

The valley was so lit up that we could see the river, turned into a torrent.

My customers had the right attitude.. it is so important when you travel! Unexpected events may occur, but we always find a solution, Inchallah!

In that case, the hotel had a hammam! Our journey to the desert resulted in a spa therapy!
The ladies were enthusiastic and the gentlemen ... did not want to go out of the hammam!
a very happy end, indeed!


Stay tuned with us! We are going to talk about the hammam experience very soon.


... the storm was not annoying, eventually... it was the best opportunity we had for a break! and we kept going after that...

and this is a typical Moroccan rainbow ... it's worthwhile to experience a storm, isn't it?



what about you? do you have any travel memories to tell us? we would be happy to read it!
