We had an amazing trip and it was all perfectly coordinated from start to end. We were picked up from our hotel in Marrakech by Brahim who took care of us and provided us with an amazing trip. The vehicle was comfortable (Land Cruiser Prado) and Brahim stopped at multiple scenic and cultural/historic sites along the journey including multiple Kasbah's, Berber villages, view of the Atlas Mountains and more. Brahim was more than happy to stop at any place we wanted to and would always be happy to help us with any photos. Erg Chebbi was awesome and the accommodation at the luxury tent at the campsite is incredible (included private toilet and shower with hot water). We enjoyed the experience of a camel ride to the camp site, sand boarding on the dunes and quad biking the next day which Brahim helped organise. The accommodation throughout the trip was great and very comfortable. We returned to Marrakech and were dropped of at our accommodation. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring more of Morocco and this was the highlight of our trip to Morocco. Brahim is a very friendly, kind and experienced guide/driver and made the trip very special. We will definitely return to Morocco and tour with Desert Space Tour and Brahim in the future!

  • frank_eats_travels 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Amazing specialists when it comes to Morocco tours A fantastic and once in a lifetime experience! My wife and I took the two day tour from Marrakesh to Mhamid and Erg Lihoudi camp. The tour was as advertised and described on their website. Pick up time was right on time and the driver personally picked us up from our Riad in Marrakesh, carrying our luggage. The drive through the Atlas, and then Anti Atlas, mountain range was amazing, allowing us to soak in the scenery on this amazing road. The landscape starts changing from urban, to cactus-filled hills, to mountainous and then desert! We had a nice and relaxing stop on the road for a lunch, and were treated to a mint tea in Mhamid just before we rode the camels to the camp site where we had our own tent (standard package). At the camp, we mingled with a few of the other guests while eating this delicious and super filling dinner. We chilled outside under a sky full of stars where I saw the milky way for the first time in my own eyes. The hosts played some traditional Berber music as we sat around a fire. Every moment was magical, offering us an amazing escape from New York city, and also from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh! The sunrise the next morning was out of this world. After a delicious breakfast we got on our way back as Brahim picked us up again and started our journey back towards Marrakesh. We had a number of great stops on the way, one of which was Ait Ben Haddou, which is the backdrop for the city of Yunkai for you Game Of Thrones fans (also Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia).

Marrakech to Erg Chegaga desert tour – 3 days

erg chegaga tour from mhamid

Marrakech to Erg Chegaga desert tour 3 days – overview:

The enticement of the Erg Chegaga dunes lies in their distance from civilisation as we know it.  You will constantly have the distinct impression of having arrived in a different world – new, exciting, and oriental.

Desert tour from marrakech to erg chegaga 3 days – itinerary:, 1st day: marrakech – agdez.

At 8.30 you will depart from your hotel or riad in Marrakech to cross the High Atlas Mountains .  Shortly after you descend from the highest point, a road leads off to the left heading for Kasbah Telouet.   Now in ruins, it used to belong to the “ Lords of the Atlas” , the Glaoui family. The two main parts have been exposed to the wind and the rain, having been abandoned and plundered.

Unfortunately, the whole Kasbah is now closed due to the damage caused by the earthquake that struck Morocco in September 2023. Nevertheless, it is still worth visiting the exterior with a local guide to discover its rich history.

Driving south, you follow along the beautiful  Ounila Valley with surprising rock and soil colours, little Berber villages and fields, plus more humble Kasbahs.  Almost at the end of the road, you reach Kasbah Aït ben Haddou , where you will probably have  lunch.

This Kasbah makes up one of Morocco’s nine  UNESCO World Heritage sites and is the most spoken about Kasbah in the country. The architectural style with its earthen constructions are perfectly adapted to the climatic conditions, in harmony with the natural and social environment. Probably originating in the 17th century, it is also famous as the backdrop to many Hollywood classical and Biblical films.

Having driven through Ouarzazate , we continue south over the Tizi-n-Tinfifte pass to Agdez . Descending from the pass you will immediately be struck by the view of the large number of palm trees in the oasis. This marks the start of the Dra’a Valley which produces a remarkable 44 varieties of dates.  The harvest begins in September and lasts a month or so.   Agdez is one of the best places to choose from this wide selection for the freshest and tastiest ones.

You will spend the night in a local guest house.

2nd day: Agdez – Chegaga Dunes

After breakfast, a visit to  Kasbah Tamnougalte , the oldest kasbah in the Dra’a Valley is on the timetable. Sill inhabited in parts, the Jewish quarter has been crumbling ever since the departure of its inhabitants to Israel – the last person left in 1963.

From here, we take the ancient caravan road. During the era of the caravans treks, this road was used to carry goods from sub-Saharan Africa and Morocco. The road passes between the mountains and the river, through many villages and gardens.  So you will gain a better idea of the current way of Berber life in the life-giving  oases.

Just before the police check-point in Tansikht , the driver can point out the dinosaur footprints in the rock right at the side of the road. A little further on, you arrive in  Tinsouline , from where you can drive about a kilometre  to the fascinating rock carvings of animals long extinct in Morocco. This is  Foum Chenna, some 4000 years old.

Zagora is the largest town before the Sahara and where you shall stop for lunch. In  Tamgroute,  the potteries  which are famous for their green glaze are well worth visiting.  This is also true of the ancient Quranic library with exquisite hand-written Arabic texts.

In the afternoon you continue the last stretch to M’hamid , the gate to the desert and the end of the asphalted road.  In the Erg Lihoudi dunes , you will stop for lunch, or alternatively in Kasbah Touareg in Ksar Bounou.

The  Erg Chegaga dunes (300m) involve 60km driving through the desert.  These dunes are far away from civilisation, far out in the real desert ……. and the silence and the expanse of the sand are extraordinary. Here you can take a camel ride .

You have dinner and spend the night at a luxury camp with private bathroom, king-sized beds, beautiful Moroccan furnishings.

3rd day: Erg Chegaga – Marrakech

After breakfast, you travel across another 90km of the desert with varying scenery. At the dry Lake Iriqui, you may well experience a mirage in the heat, and will also have an opportunity to look for small fossils.

Lunch may be in Foum Zguid , the first village after the desert. “Foum” means “mouth”; i.e “mouth/source” of the Zguid River.  The road north passes unusual amazing rock formations to the small town of Taznakht.   This small town is famous for its Berber carpets and rugs, where you can watch women working at their looms.  Lunch could alternatively be here.

From here we cross the High Atlas again, this time by a slightly different road. You reach Marrakech at the end of the afternoon, having had the best possible Saharan desert trip in all Morocco.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is the erg chegaga desert from marrakech.

The drive from Ouarzazate to Erg Chegaga dunes is about 530 KM (330 miles) – about a five hour drive each way. The journey to Erg Chegaga is broken up with an overnight stay in a guest house in Agdz on the first day.  There are also multiple stops at sites of interest, for walks, tea / coffee, and whenever desired or necessary. The return journey involves a full-day’s drive back to Marrakech.

Will our tent in the desert camps have a private bathroom and shower?

Absolutely! You spend the night in luxury desert tents equipped with a private bathroom and shower with running hot water.

Do the tents in the camps come with AC/ heating?

During the colder months from mid-December to late January, the nights can be cold, necessitating heating. Also, from June to early September, the Erg Chegaga desert experiences extremely high temperatures and most of the camps close down. So, we would recommend changing the destination to Merzouga instead. 

As only a few camps in Erg Chegaga are equipped with a reversible AC, please inform us in advance if you wish to have any of these amenities in your tent. This could mean an increase in the price!

Will there be electricity outlets inside our tent for charging phones and cameras?

Desert camps in Erg Chegaga are equipped with electricity outlets for charging phones, cameras, and other electronic devices, frequently in the form of USBs.

Is there Wi-Fi or internet connectivity available during the desert tour?

The accommodation in Agdz is equipped with Wi-Fi connections. However, there is no Wi-Fi access in the camps in Erg Chegaga because the signal strength is limited or intermittent due to the remote location. 

If staying connected is essential during your desert tour, you could consider obtaining a local SIM card available at the airport on arrival or bringing a portable Wi-Fi device.

What should I wear for the camel ride?

We suggest you opt for loose clothing to avoid chafing. Don’t forget essentials like a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes.

How long is the camel ride in Erg Chegaga?

The standard camel ride lasts around 45 minutes to an hour. But, it can be tailored to accommodate your preference.

Can we skip the camel ride? If yes, then how do we get to the camp?

Erg Chegaga can only be reached in a 4×4, so the driver will be taking you to the camp in the car. Once you arrive, there is no need to take the camel ride if you do not wish.

Is sandboarding included?

Yes, you can do as much as you want – just ask the camp staff for a board!

Can I photograph local people while travelling in Morocco?

We feel that it is important to be mindful of the local customs and sensitivities regarding photography, especially in rural areas. Some people may feel uncomfortable or unwilling to be photographed either for cultural reasons or as a personal preference.

So we would like to advise you always to seek permission before taking any photos. While some may agree, others may decline or expect remuneration. Respecting their wishes will always be much appreciated.

Where can I find the answers to additional questions?

Please visit our comprehensive frequently asked questions page which covers various topics. 

Alternatively, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly with any inquiries you may have. Our dedicated team of knowledgeable travel specialists is readily available to assist you and provide prompt, personalised responses to your questions.

Erg Chegaga – Dunes Erg Chigaga

Last updated on: November 8, 2020 10:18 by Icho Ouarzazate | Reading: 2 minutes | Published: November 8, 2020 10:18 | Category: Morocco

morocco

Erg Chigaga consists of several ergs and it’s the largest golden sand sea in Morocco, located approximately 45 km from the small Berber oasis town of M’Hamid El Ghizlane in the province of Zagora, Morocco.

Erg Chegaga or Erg Chigaga could be an excellent destination for people who want to see the real Sahara desert when staying in Marrakech. Erg Chegaga is known for its high sand dunes and is located in the Souss-Massa-Draa region, about 45 km from the Berber town M’hamid and 98 km from the provincial town of Zagora. It is Morocco’s largest golden sand sea, winding along the horizon for approximately 35 km with a peak at 300m.

The journey from Marrakech takes about nine hours, however, it is only accessible by 4X4 or by camel because the road is unpaved once you pass the gate when approaching the city of M’hamid. M’hamid is a small administrative center and the last oasis in the Sahara desert. To the south lies a rock desert, Hammada du Draa. In M’hamid Wadi Draa disappears under the sand dunes.

If you come from Zagora you will pass first through Amazrou, Tamegroute, Tinfou dunes, and M’hamid. Since you are traveling via this caravans route, you can stop at Tamegroute, here you can visit the Zawia Nasri Library which was founded in the 17th century by Mohamed Bou Nasri, and enjoy all kinds of pottery.

Once you arrive in Mhamid, many guides are offering one-night stays in Erg Chegaga in a desert camp and camel treks. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a night in the middle of the dunes under the shine of a thousand stars.

Due to its difficult access, Erg Chegaga is not as crowded and touristic as Erg Chebbi in the Merzouga region, which makes it very interesting. It is considered to be more a romantic Erg . The golden sand dunes of Erg Chigaga are loved by photographers, artists, and adventurers for their perfect solitude and tranquility.

My Marrakech to Erg Chigaga desert experience!

Exploring the Sahara desert was an awe-inspiring journey. The expanse of captivating vistas in every direction was truly remarkable. The desert's allure extended from the local nomadic way of life to the diverse wildlife. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the mountains painted a breathtaking canvas. Impeccable service enhanced our adventure, and the private tour was a delight, guided by an experienced driver. In summary, the Erg Chigaga desert delivers an excellent experience that seamlessly combines nature's wonders with the best services.

Best Moments in Morocco!

I highly recommend this company, Aziz, and their team! He was very helpful and gave us all the information we needed. We did a Camel ride, and neither of us had ever been on a camelback so it was an experience in itself. We stopped at some interesting sites before stopping in for lunch. Our guide made some amazing tea. In the afternoon, Aziz picked us up from the east and came to see the sunset. The camp facilities are amazing - the tents were very comfortable and not cold at all at night. They gave us a very nice traditional meal for dinner. You should consider the 3-day Marrakech to Erg-Chigaga desert tour! Thank you, Aziz!

We never imagined we would have a wonderful 8-day Erg Chigaga trek. Maybe because we hadn’t rode on camels before. Even worse we always feared imagining riding on a camel to access anywhere. But when the thought of the most classic and memorable places—Erg Chigaga—came to my mind, I was ready to do anything to see this exciting landscape. This stunning sand dune sea is located in the Sahara desert—and being the first time, I was amazed to take pictures to show off to my family back at home. All in all, we had an incredible experience and we will get to do this again with View Morocco.
