4 Days Desert Tour from Agadir to Erg Chegaga
Escape the crowds and enjoy a unique desert adventure from Agadir to the untouched Erg Chigaga dunes. Located in the far southeast of Morocco near the Algerian border, Erg Chigaga sits more than 60 km from the nearest town, M’hamid. Unlike the popular Erg Chebbi dunes, Erg Chigaga is wild, remote, and far from mass tourism — offering a truly authentic Sahara experience.
This 4-day desert tour from Agadir takes you through beautiful landscapes such as the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, the lush palm groves of the Draa Valley, and vast rocky desert plains before reaching the majestic dunes of Erg Chigaga.
Experience the Sahara like never before: ride camels across golden dunes, climb the high sand peaks, and enjoy the peaceful silence of the desert. As the sun sets, relax in comfortable nomad tents or sleep under the stars in one of Morocco’s most unspoiled desert areas.
While Erg Chebbi in Merzouga is more developed and surrounded by hotels, Erg Chigaga remains a true off-the-grid destination. It is perfect for travelers who want calm, space, and a deeper connection with nature — leaving you with unforgettable memories.
4-Day Erg Chigaga Desert Tour from Agadir – Itinerary
Day 1: Agadir → Taroudant → Ait Ben Haddou → Ouarzazate
Departure at 8:00 AM. Start your journey toward Ouarzazate by passing through Taroudant and enjoying views of Berber villages and mountain scenery. Continue to Ait Ben Haddou, a famous fortified village on the old caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. This UNESCO World Heritage site has appeared in movies such as Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator.
Dinner and overnight in Ouarzazate.
Day 2: Ouarzazate → Draa Valley → Zagora → Mhamid
After breakfast, continue your desert tour toward Mhamid. Travel through Agdez and the Draa Valley, known for its endless palm groves and ancient kasbahs. Visit Tamnougalt Kasbah, then continue through the palm groves to reach Zagora.
Visit the Kasbah of Amzrou and the village of Tamgroute, famous for its green pottery and ancient Quranic library. Continue to Mhamid, where you will take a camel ride to reach your desert camp and enjoy a beautiful sunset.
Dinner and overnight in Berber nomad tents.
Day 3: Mhamid → Off-Road Journey → Erg Chigaga
After breakfast, begin your off-road journey through the desert — passing sand dunes, oases, rocky plains, and wide open landscapes until you reach the large dunes of Erg Chigaga. Enjoy lunch under the shade of palm or tamarisk trees, sometimes shared with a nomadic family if possible.
In the afternoon, continue to your Erg Chigaga camp. Experience traditional nomad life and enjoy dinner and overnight in tents or under the stars.
Day 4: Erg Chigaga → Iriki Lake → Foum Zguid → Taznakht → Agadir
After breakfast, follow the off-road path across the dry Draa riverbed toward Lake Iriki. Continue to Foum Zguid, then drive to Taznakht and Taliouine — a town famous for its saffron fields. Pass through Taroudant, known as “Little Marrakech,” before reaching Agadir in the late afternoon.

1. What’s the difference between a private and a shared tour?
The main difference is the vehicle. In a shared tour, you only share the transportation. Your room and tent stay private, and you can also eat separately if you prefer.
Another difference is that private tours are always guaranteed — once you book, the tour is confirmed.
Shared tours depend on demand and need at least 4 people. If the minimum is not reached, you can choose a free cancellation or continue as a private tour with a special price.
2. Is vegetarian or vegan food available?
Yes, we can prepare vegetarian or vegan meals. Just tell us during the booking, and remind your driver during the tour.
3. Can I reach the camp without riding a camel?
Yes, you can. The camp has a 4×4 car that transports luggage and guests who don’t want to ride camels, or who prefer to ride only once.
If you booked a private tour, your 4×4 vehicle can take you directly to the camp if needed.
4. Does the camp have private bathrooms?
Yes. Our camp is a luxury camp, and all tents have private bathrooms and showers. We include this in our basic packages without a big extra cost.
5. Can I bring my luggage on the tour?
Yes, you can bring your luggage. Our vehicles have plenty of space for large suitcases. Your luggage stays with you at all times, and in the desert, a 4×4 car will take it safely to your tent at the camp.
How to Pay for the Tour:
To confirm your tour or activity, we require a small deposit paid through PayPal to our group coordinator. The remaining balance is paid in cash at pick-up, directly to your driver, in euros or the equivalent amount in dirhams.
Credit Cards:
We do not accept credit card payments. Credit cards are not very practical in Morocco, and they come with high fees and some security risks.
Paying the Total Amount with PayPal:
We usually request the balance in cash because PayPal has high transaction fees and delays for international transfers. In some cases, we can accept full payment by PayPal, but a 5% fee will be added to cover extra charges. If you prefer this option, please arrange it with us before the tour date.
