Overview

From Agadir, the route to Erg Chegaga is the most natural in Morocco. Head south through the Anti-Atlas foothills via Tata and Foum Zguid, entering the edge of the Sahara from the west — a very different approach than the standard Marrakech route. Erg Chegaga is the Sahara for those who want fewer tourists, larger dunes in total, and a more genuine feeling of wilderness. The 4x4 crossing from M'Hamid is part of the adventure. Two nights deep in the desert, away from everything.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Early pick-up from Agadir at 6:30 am. Drive south through the Anti-Atlas foothills — the oldest mountain range in Morocco, stranger and more ancient-looking than the High Atlas. Pass through the oasis town of Tata and continue to Foum Zguid or M'Hamid, the last settlements before Erg Chegaga. Dinner and overnight.

Frequently asked questions

How is Erg Chegaga different from other desert trips?
Erg Chegaga is the wilder, less-visited big dune field, reached by off-road 4x4. This trip is graded moderate and spends two nights at a desert camp there — more remote than the Zagora or Merzouga routes.
Where do we stay?
One night in Foum Zguid or M'Hamid and two nights at the Berber desert camp at Erg Chegaga with all meals included at the camp.
What is included?
Private 4x4 transport with an off-road-experienced desert guide, the three nights described (two at camp with all meals), all camel treks, and mineral water and tea throughout. Lunches on days 1 and 3, personal travel insurance, and tips are not included.
Why is it graded moderate?
The remoteness and long off-road driving to reach Erg Chegaga make it more involved than the easy desert circuits, though it is not a trek.
