Desert Activities: Bivouac / Camel Rides in Merzouga

Desert Excursions - Bivouac - Camel Rides - 4x4 in Sahara

Erg Chebbi Dunes are 99,9% of strong colored, soft, thin sand. Whatever is rest, are the few existing oasis. This is still inhabited by local nomads that still pursuit their hard way of living in the intense environment of Sahara.

Yasmina Hotel has a bivouac in one of these Oasis where you can experience the real Sahara for yourself. Live like a nomad, experience something really different, something very deep and magical. Learn the knowledge of Sahara, feel the energy and loose yourself counting the thousands of stars the clear Sahara desert gives you!

We have different excursions into these bivouacs, from one night excursion, to 2 days, 3, up to one week. You tell us what you want. We can even organize circuits within different oasis in the dunes for several days. These way you can see all is to see in Erg Chebbi, meet different nomad families and gain experience riding camels! :)
