Camel Trekking in Morocco

9/29/2013

 
Camel Trekking in MoroccoFor many visitors in a foreign country, dealing with tour operators gives them peace of mind, knowing that their accommodation, travel and activities while on vacation are taken care of. Tour operators not only provide guided tours, but are able to offer visitors a variety of attractions and fascinating activities to enjoy. One adventure that visitors are recommended to look in to is camel trekking across the deserts and dunes of Morocco. It is an experience that is unique and exciting, and will be a memorable time for tourists of all ages.



Camel trekking is not only a fun activity for tourists, but is a part of the tradition of the country as nomads have used camels as a form of transport for centuries. Following in their footsteps is an unforgettable experience, and visitors will have a few options to choose from. The most popular camel trekking adventure is an excursion into the Sahara Desert. Traveling by camel on the ridge of a dune in the late afternoon with nothing around you but sand, tranquility and open blue sky, must be experienced and cannot be explained. Finding the ideal camping area for the evening, and sitting on the dunes watching a breathtaking sunset is one of the most picturesque experiences and one that visitors will never forget. Clear skies filled with bright stars and the silence of the desert surrounding you is what travelers can anticipate on a camel trekking experience. There are different day treks that visitors can go on, ranging from one day adventures to eight days, the journey depends completely on the visitors’ preferences.

There are two main regions, Erg Chebbi by Merzouga and Erg Chigaga (or Chegaga) by Mhamid:

Morocco desert tours to Erg Chebbi are very popular with tourists. These sand dunes are promoted in many guide books, Morocco tour packages and hotels. It is due to the fact, that there are many Auberge built right in the desert, trying to attract guests. Here you can go dip yourself in the swimming pool or sip a cold drink atop a terrace to view the desert. You can even safely wander in the immediate dunes without needing a guide. Or you can have your morocco tour of these sand dunes arrange with a camel trek and overnight in the Nomad tent. There is also a possibility to overnight in very luxurious tents where you have your own private bathroom facilities and comfortable bed just like in 5 star hotel. These sand dunes are described as the highest sand dunes of Morocco. Erg Chebbi dunes are 22 km long and 5 km wide with the tallest sand dune reaching only 150m, while the tallest sand of Erg Chigaga is 300m tall. Erg Chigaga, home to semi nomadic Berbers Ait Atta, spreads over 40 kms and the tallest sand dune Lahbidia is 300m high. These sand dunes contrary to Erg Chebbi are not easy to reach. You can travel to them only by camel (about 3 days) or by 4×4 wheel drive from Mhamid or Forum Zquid (65kms off road through desert landscape). The best way is to organize a Morocco desert tour to Erg Chigaga is with Morocco tour operator. There are no auberges in Erg Chigaga, the only type of accommodations is Nomad tent without luxury.
As someone said If Erg Chebbi was nice then Chigaga was awesome, mindblowingly beautiful. A lot less tourists and one can really experience the solitude of the desert there. Its something you cannot describe to someone who hasnt seen it with his own eyes.

Camel trekking along the coastline is also available, but usually takes between five to eight days to complete. Guides are able to share countless stories with visitors, and provide valuable information in regard to the camels, the history of camel trekking and knowledge about the desert that they have gained through experience. Whether it is a one day excursion or multi-day adventure, camel trekking is an activity in Morocco that should be explored by all visitors to the country.
