Mhamid to Erg Lihoudi Desert Tour: 2 Days & 1 Night

Mhamid to Erg Lihoudi desert tour: a short, simple way to spend a real night in the Sahara. You start from M'Hamid, meet your camels at Oulad Driss, and spend two hours crossing dunes and tamarisk trees before the camp appears, with nothing between you and the sunset.

This Mhamid camel trek keeps things easy. Dinner is served under a traditional nomad tent, and when it is time to sleep you choose between a tent and the open sand under the stars. Erg Lihoudi from Mhamid covers roughly 28 km, which makes it a quieter, closer alternative to the bigger dune fields further out, with the same silence and the same dark sky.

In the morning, sunrise over the dunes comes first, then a hearty breakfast and the camel ride back to Oulad Driss. You are back in M'Hamid by about 10:00.

At €65, this is one of our most affordable tours. It is the budget desert tour Mhamid visitors pick when they want the camel ride and the night in the dunes without a longer trip. It also works well as an overnight desert tour Mhamid travellers can fit around a longer Morocco itinerary.

Want to go deeper into the desert? Our 2-day M'Hamid to Erg Chigaga tour reaches the taller dunes, and you can compare every route in our tours from M'Hamid. If you only have one night, this Mhamid to Erg Lihoudi desert tour is the simplest way to sleep in the dunes.
