Step by Step
The sunset dune camel ride is much more than an excursion: it is a journey back in time, an immersion in desert culture that allows you to experience the tranquillity and grandeur of the Sahara as the ancient caravans did. At a slow and quiet pace, the camels take you through a golden landscape that transforms in the sunlight as the sun sets. The experience includes a special stop to enjoy a sandboarding session and, at the end, watch the sunset with a cup of traditional mint tea. You will also be given a Berber scarf as a souvenir to bring the atmosphere of the tour even more alive.
The tour takes place in small groups, always guided by a local professional who will explain interesting facts about the surroundings and accompany you throughout the experience. It is a perfect activity for those who are looking for a connection with nature, inner peace and unique photographs.
If you want to explore the desert with an extra touch of adventure, you can also choose from three other options:
-
The sunset quad bike tour, which offers you adrenaline and freedom to roam the dunes at your own pace with an individual vehicle.
-
The buggy tour, ideal for couples or friends who want to share a fast and safe experience in a two-seater buggy.
-
Or the 4x4 tour, a perfect blend of comfort and excitement, with dune bashing and stops at natural viewpoints for spectacular photos.
Each alternative includes hotel pick-up, professional guide, safety equipment and a sandboarding stop. But if you're looking for a cultural, tranquil and profoundly visual experience, the camel ride remains the top choice.
