Why choose this route
Erg Chigaga is far from the crowds and reached only by the last 60 km of piste, so you arrive at a real desert camp. All three tours cross the High Atlas and the kasbah country; they differ in how long you stay and what you see on the way back, from the Dades Gorge to the Anti-Atlas and Taroudant.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Erg Chigaga from Marrakech?
About 600 km by road, around eight hours of driving, and the last 60 km are off-road from M'Hamid. That is why every tour here spreads the journey over two days, with a night in Zagora or Skoura on the way.
Which program should I pick: 3 or 5 days?
Pick three days if you want the desert with the shortest time on the road. Pick five days for a full day among the dunes and a longer loop, either through the Dades Gorge or through the Anti-Atlas and Taroudant.
