Mhamid to Erg Chigaga Desert Tour: 2 Days & 1 Night

Mhamid to Erg Chigaga is the deep-desert option from M'Hamid: a private 4x4 takes you across authentic Saharan terrain to the high dunes of Erg Chigaga, one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas of the Moroccan Sahara, and brings you back the next day.

This Erg Chigaga tour from Mhamid starts in the early afternoon. The route crosses dry riverbeds, rocky desert and dunes, and the point is to be among the dunes for sunset. Reaching Erg Chigaga from Mhamid in a private vehicle means you arrive at the camp in the late afternoon, with time to walk on the dunes before dark (sandboarding is possible).

Evening brings a traditional dinner at the camp and a night in a private tent, with a luxury tent with a private bathroom available as an option. In the morning, breakfast overlooks the dunes; there is free time to enjoy the quiet, and a private 4x4 returns you to M'Hamid late morning or early afternoon.

If you have one night to spare, this 2 day desert tour Mhamid travellers choose for the big dunes is a straightforward way to do it. Prefer a camel ride and a lower price?
