Experience the magic of camel trekking across the dunes
If you’re looking for an adventure that combines breathtaking natural beauty, cultural immersion, and pure thrill, there’s no better place than the Sahara Desert in Merzouga. At Itran Royal Camp, adventure isn’t just something you do – it’s something you feel, live, and carry with you long after the sand has left your shoes.
In the heart of Morocco’s southeastern desert, Itran Royal Camp offers more than just luxury accommodations under the stars – we offer experiences that awaken your senses and reconnect you with nature, tradition, and yourself.
🌄 Discover the Magic of the Sahara
The Sahara is the world’s largest hot desert, and Merzouga lies on the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, some of the tallest in Morocco. These massive golden dunes seem to shift with the wind and time, offering a surreal backdrop to your adventure.
At Itran Royal Camp, we invite you to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of this landscape. Whether you’re riding atop a camel or racing over sand in a 4×4, every moment is unforgettable.
🐪 Sunset Camel Treks: A Timeless Journey
Step into the footsteps of ancient traders and nomads
There’s nothing quite like the serenity of a sunset camel trek through the dunes. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sand in hues of gold and crimson, you’ll feel transported to another era.
Your camel guide, a local Berber expert, will lead you slowly through the dunes, sharing stories of the land and nomadic life. It’s a peaceful, meditative experience that connects you with the timeless rhythm of the desert.
