My tent at OAT camp.

We journey to our private tented campsite, located close to a sea of sand dunes near Merzouga. Here, we’ll experience the remote environment of the Sahara, with no roads, and the sound of the wind in the dunes as we navigate the sandy tracks.
At the camp, you’ll stay in a walk-in canvas tent, complete with camp bed, mattress, fresh linens, and pillow, and private en suite toilet facilities. There is a separate tent for dining.
Lunch: A selection of local and international dishes served in the dining tent upon arrival at the campRead more
