for the 3 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech :
- Chigaga Erg The Sahara dunes are a considerably newer and less visited area.
- The Erg Chegaga dunes are located in the southeast of Marrakech, near the Algerian border, and are almost 60 kilometers from the nearest settlement of Mhamid.
- Here, the desert appears to be more vast and wild.
- Those who choose an Erg Chigaga desert excursion should be prepared for a more primitive experience, as there are no nearby hotels.
- Before reaching the Sahara dunes, this desert trek involves at least three days of travel through Ait Benhaddou, Draa valley palm orchards, and a rocky desert terrain.
The Erg Chegaga desert tour, a Sahara desert excursion that includes riding a camel, climbing Sahara dunes, running cinnamon-and-sugar sand grains through your fingers, admiring breathtaking views, and sleeping in tents or under the stars, is fascinating.
The Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga are the other Sahara dunes. The Erg Chebbi dunes, which may reach a height of up to 150 meters in some areas and cover a total area of 50 kilometers, are the most popular. The Merzouga desert and its surrounds are surrounded by hotels, providing visitors the choice of spending the night in a regular hotel room or a luxury camp and then exploring the Merzouga desert and its surroundings by day.
