Ouarzazate to Erg Chegaga Desert Tour: 2 Days & 1 Night

Ouarzazate desert tour to Erg Chegaga desert. A beautiful journey to the Sahara of Morocco in 4x4 cars. We cross the lunar landscapes of the Anti-Atlas Mountains before we reach the oasis of Agdez. We will drive along Draa Valley admiring the palm groves and the old tribal Ksours. Zagora Oasis is one of the most beautiful sites with more than 100 thousand palms. After driving 18 km we visit Tamgroute — it used to be the last village before the desert and has an old tradition of making green pottery. In the same village there is an old library full of old manuscripts and books of mathematics, theology, astrology and more, including one of the oldest books dating from the 13th century. Afterwards we will head to the dunes of Erg Chegaga. A getaway to calm and charming Sahara. Berber camp in the middle of nowhere, only the dunes and the stars at night!

Early morning enjoys the charming sunrise, and you will have breakfast at the camp. We will leave our camp while the jeep crosses Lake Iriqui and joins Foum Zguid. Lunch will be in the Berber village of Taznakht.

Afterwards, we will proceed to Ait Benhaddou, where we will visit the 16th-century UNESCO site. Ait Benhaddou is one of the best-conserved and most magnificent kasbahs in Morocco. It's a famous site for Hollywood films—many were shot there, including the blockbuster Gladiator.

We will be back in Ouarzazate by around 5 pm, with drop-off at your accommodation.
