Luxury Desert Picnic in Merzouga: Overview

After a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Merzouga, you’re driven out to a private picnic area set up in the Erg Chebbi dunes, arranged exclusively for your group. The setup is ready before you arrive, so there’s nothing to prepare — you simply arrive and relax.

Morning, Afternoon, or Sunset: Choosing Your Time

Choose between a morning, afternoon, or sunset picnic, each offering a unique atmosphere. Morning picnics provide peaceful desert landscapes and cooler temperatures, while afternoon and sunset experiences showcase the changing colors of the golden dunes as the sun moves across the sky.

Your picnic includes a selection of Moroccan specialties, seasonal fruits, pastries, and tea, coffee, or soft drinks, served on luxury cushions and handcrafted Berber rugs with lanterns and decorative styling. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options can be arranged if you let us know in advance. Professional photography can be arranged separately on request; alcohol, tips, and travel insurance are not included.

What to Wear and Bring

Since seating is arranged on low cushions and rugs rather than chairs, comfortable, relaxed clothing works best — you’ll be sitting close to the sand. A few simple items make the experience more enjoyable:

  • Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing suited to sitting on cushions
  • Sunglasses and sunscreen for a morning or afternoon picnic
  • A light layer for sunset or cooler-season picnics, once the sun starts to drop
  • A camera or phone — the dune backdrop and table styling are popular photo subjects

Who This Experience Is For

The peaceful, private setting suits couples celebrating a proposal, anniversary, or honeymoon, as well as families and small groups who want a relaxed, unhurried alternative to a group excursion. Since setup and seating are arranged directly on sand and rugs rather than at fixed tables and chairs, travelers with significant mobility limitations should contact us in advance to check whether the arrangement will be comfortable for their needs.

Combine This With Other Merzouga Experiences

A private picnic pairs naturally with a more active start to the day, such as a quad biking desert safari or sandboarding on the Erg Chebbi dunes. For a full desert day, many travelers add a sunset camel trek or round off the evening with Sahara stargazing.
