5 Days Desert Tour of Marrakech to Chegaga | Desert Araouane



Marrakech is a must visit place during your Morocco Excursion. If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable desert experience then booking a Tour in Morocco is the best idea. 


While planning a tour from Marrakech to Chegaga, you have a lot of things to do. You can visit the former presidential palace Kasbah Telouet. There is a UNESCO World Heritage site Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou. These two kasbahs are the most famous ones when you travel to Chegaga from Marrakech. 


If you want to experience the local culture you can enjoy spending the night in a rural riad. Or, you also have an option of staying in an authentic guest house in Agdez. Zagora is the largest town you will come across on your way to Chegaga. Here, you can visit the co-operatives of the famous nationwide green pottery. You can also visit the Koranic library, which is a must-visit because of its magnificent manuscript. 


During your trip to Erg Chegaga, you can visit the old Moroccan castles, enjoy the view of the Atlas Mountains and Draa Valley on your way to the dunes. Erg Chegaga has a greater surface area but its dunes are not as tall (62 meters (200 feet) vs. 150 meters (500 feet)). Although, since the dunes gradually get taller this difference in altitude is hardly noticeable, unless you compare panoramic views of both places.


If you are not familiar with the country and are going there for the first time, you can plan your trip with the help of a tour operator. There are many tour operators which claim to offer the Best Tour in Morocco. They have different options like Private Morocco tours, Sahara Holiday tours etc. You can choose the one that perfectly suits your hanging out plans. You will also have the complete flexibility to customize your tour package, right from the choice of vehicle to the food menu.



Things to do in this tour:

  • Travel by four-wheel drive and go off-road to reach the Erg Chigaga dunes 

  • Explore small towns including Agdz, M’hamid, Zagora, and Amezrou 

  • Go camel riding

  • listen to drum music

  • Watch sunrise 

  • Stay in a desert camp


When traveling to Morocco, visiting the Desert Sahara is a lifetime experience. Either explore the sand dunes while riding a camel or spend the night in a desert camp gazing at stars.
