One more day in the dunes makes all the difference
Arriving in the desert after eight hours on the road and leaving the next morning is a shame. With this version you get a full day in Merzouga: the 4×4 tour with the nomads, the Gnawa village of Khamlia, lunch with medfouna and a second sunset, perhaps on a sandboard.
You spend the first night in a hotel at the foot of the dunes and the second at the desert camp: that way you reach the desert well rested.

FAQ
Can I spend both nights at the camp?
