Erg Chigaga is the largest and most remote dune field in Morocco, reached only by 4x4 across open desert. This four-day tour is for travellers who want the real, untamed Sahara.
Beyond the end of the tarmac at M’Hamid, you cross rocky hammada and sand tracks to the towering dunes of Chigaga, where a desert camp sits in splendid isolation. Nights here are among the darkest and most star-filled you will ever see.
The journey there is an adventure in itself, through kasbahs, oases and the ever-changing colours of the pre-Saharan south.
