New Year's Eve in Merzouga: Ringing in the New Year at the Foot of the Erg Chebbi
New Year's Eve in Merzouga costs from £450/person in a 6-day / 5-night all-inclusive package, from 29 December 2026 to 3 January 2027, departing from Marrakech. New Year's Eve is spent in a bivouac at the foot of the Erg Chebbi, Morocco's highest dunes, with festive dinner, Gnaoua music and campfire.
Midnight. You're sitting on still-warm sand, leaning against a 150-metre dune. The winter sky above Merzouga is surreally clear — the Milky Way traces a river of light. Around the fire, the Gnaoua drums quicken, laughter rings out, someone strikes up a Berber song. This is your New Year's Eve. And tomorrow morning, the first sunrise of the new year will paint the Erg Chebbi dunes pink, then gold. 6-day/5-night package from £450 per person, all-inclusive.
