Marrakech Trip Overview
The 3 days Desert tour from Marrakech to Erg Chigaga Dunes could be a much smaller and less traveled destination. The Erg Chigaga dunes are located southeast of Marrakech towards the Algerian border and are more than 60 kilometers from the nearest town of Mhamid. The desert is a bit more spacious and wild here. This Marrakech desert tour necessitates at least three days of travel through Ait Ben Haddou and the Draa Valley. Before reaching the desert dunes, you’ll pass through palm groves and rocky desert landscapes.
First night in a riad in ouarzazate and the second night in erg chigaga in a luxury tent.
