what's up guys we're here in the ERG
Chevy desert near marzuga in Morocco and
in this video we're going to show you
our full camel Safari so we chose the
three day two night Trek where you can
choose many different options and we'll
highlight those throughout the video but
we'll give our honest review of our trip
and the pros and the cons and yeah I
hope you enjoy it
[Music]
located in the Sahara desert in the
south of Morocco
it's known as the gateway to the ERG
Chevy sand dunes at the edge of town
consisting of soaring peaks of sand that
change color with the shifting light of
dawn and dusk
many companies offer such trips but they
vary greatly in cost comfort and
experience
in this video we'll show you our
three-day Safari experience so you know
what to expect from a camel track
we'll also give an honest review and
different desert activity options at the
end of the video so let's Dive In
we're Zach and Inna we make helpful
videos about destinations around the
world so you can easily plan your own
Adventures
[Music]
day one of our desert Adventure started
in the late afternoon near merzuga
after parking our Rental Car in a secure
lot and a welcome tea from our host we
are driven to meet our camels and desert
guides
the camels seem to be treated well when
we arrived and were peacefully grazing
on some food
the only difficult part of the camels
was getting up onto them for the first
time
[Laughter]
whoa you're eight feet taller
it took a little time to get used to the
way the camels moved because of the wavy
up and down motion
but after gliding along the desert sand
for a while we were feeling like pros
thanks to Muhammad and Hassan who guided
us
[Music]
after one and a half hours on the camels
the sun was starting to go down so we
decided to hop off and sit in the
sparkling Sands of the ERG Chevy desert
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
one more short ride on the camels
brought us to our wild camp for the
night
sat underneath a large Sand Dune the
camp included a private tent with
sleeping pads and blankets as well as a
cooking tent for our guides and a
candlelight dinner Under the Stars
[Applause]
[Music]
wow
[Music]
on day two we were set to enjoy
sandboarding an oasis a special Nomad
style lunch and a new luxury camp
but first we woke up early to catch the
sunrise
foreign
so we just woke up to beautiful sunrise
and some nice breakfast and now time to
hit the slopes for some sandboarding
after sandboarding it was time to hop
back on the candles
during our ride towards the Oasis we
came across hundreds of sand dunes with
various shapes and beauty
we were also surprised to see actual
bushes and Greenery in some parts of the
dunes but the nicest part of this area
was that we didn't see any other people
the entire time
just us in the desert it was pure Bliss
[Music]
after about two hours we arrived at one
of the highlights of the day the Oasis
this Oasis boasted the highest Dune in
all of ERG Chevy but we'll talk about
that in a moment
first it was time to enjoy a Berber
Pizza which was cooked by Hassan in an
authentic fashion by burying the dough
in hot sand
our guide Muhammad explained the
tradition in more detail
we make the dough first yes first inside
in the kitchen the bread inside first
and later on we put it all the things
inside eggs and some space on the some
meat also oh they're nice as wow so it's
a lot of different ingredients yeah
yeah okay
so this is the Burger Pizza
[Music]
if you're enjoying some of the best
pizza in our life and watching our
camels have their own feasts nearby it
was time to climb the tallest Dune in
ERG Chevy
located right behind the Oasis it's a
beast

[Music]
next it was off to our luxury camp for
the evening
which meant hopping back on the camels
for another stretch of desert but before
getting to the camp we were able to take
in one more beautiful sunset from the
dunes
[Music]
oh
[Music]
when we arrived at our camp in the
evening we were greeted with warm tea
and some very tasty local food
the highlight of the night was
definitely the Berber drums
the drum session was a beautiful display
of tradition through music
[Music]
foreign
here in the deserts and today we're
doing a 4x4 tour to a nomad family and
other things but before we head out we
actually wanted to show you how a tent
looks like from the inside we're staying
in a standards camp and so
so this is the beds that's like pillows
it's quite soft and there's also a
toilet a shower and a dining room as
well thank you
[Music]
our first stop on the 4x4 was the hasi
labid Oasis
here we were able to see how locals use
canals to get water and do farming under
the palm trees
next we drove through the town center of
mirzuga on our way to kamlia Village
this Village is famous for the Nawa
people
who originated in sub-Saharan countries
such as Sudan Mali and Niger
for centuries they moved from their land
as a result of the worldwide slave trade
their style of music was different from
the Berber music that we heard before
and was very rhythmic
[Music]
after a short visit to the fossil and
mineral mines it was time to visit the
Nomad families
these families live on the outskirts of
the dunes with very minimal homes and
equipment
Syed explained a bit more about the
tents and how the nomadic people set
them up
come along
this is why they make like this
it's nice
[Music]
overall we really enjoyed our three-day
desert Safari
riding the camels for multiple days
allowed us to go deeper into the sand
dunes and gave us the real authentic
experience that we were looking for
the thing we liked the most was learning
about the nomadic Traditions from our
guides
and we've put the other pros of our trip
on the screen here
as for cons we thought the luxury camp
on day two was a bit noisy in the
evening because many of the camps are so
close together
we also believe that if you only do one
night in the desert like most people
your experience is limited
because you don't stay in the peaceful
wild camp like we did and you'll be
surrounded by many other tourists
the best option is a multi-day camel
Trek in our opinion
you aren't interested in a multi-day
trek like we did then there are also
many other options to enjoy the desert
these are included on the screen here
and we've also included links to all the
trip options in the description below
including the tour we took which was a
combination of the two nights desert
experience and the 4x4 desert tour if
you're planning your Morocco trip we
recommend keeping things organized with

we also included important links that
you'll need for your desert trip in the
description
such as all the links for the tours
we'll catch you on the next adventure
