FAQ About camel ride in merzouga desert?
what to wear when riding a camel in the desert
For a comfortable Sahara camel trek, wear long, breathable trousers to prevent chafing and a long-sleeved shirt for sun protection. Use a traditional turban (Cheich) to shield against wind and sand, and choose secure, closed-toe shoes so they don’t get lost in the dunes. Finish with polarized sunglasses and a crossbody bag for your camera.
What shoes to wear on a camel ride?
The best shoes for a camel ride are closed-toe sneakers or secure sports sandals with backstraps.
They stay on your feet while the camel moves and keep the hot sand out. Avoid loose footwear that can fall off into the deep dunes—you don’t want to go barefoot in the Sahara!
Is it safe to go to Merzouga?
Yes, Merzouga is very safe. The local Berber (Amazigh) community is famous for its hospitality, and because the town’s economy relies on tourism, locals go out of their way to ensure visitors feel protected.
How much does a camel ride cost in Merzouga?
