Discover the Ancient Wonders of Erg Chegaga on a Three Day Desert Expedition Journey


Begin your immersive three-day desert expedition in Marrakesh, traveling through the dramatic mountain landscapes toward the historic Onilla Valley. This route, once a vital caravan trade path connecting the desert to the High Atlas Mountains, offers a glimpse into Morocco's rich history. Along the way, you will encounter stunning examples of traditional architecture, including ancient Berber villages that have stood the test of time, providing a fascinating look at the region's cultural heritage and architectural evolution.


A major highlight of the journey is a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou, widely considered the most impressive Kasbah in Morocco. After exploring this historic fortification, the route continues through the lush and beautiful Valley of the Palm Groves. This transition from rugged mountain terrain to verdant oasis landscapes showcases the incredible geographical diversity of the country, offering numerous opportunities for photography and appreciation of the natural beauty found throughout the Moroccan interior.


Upon reaching the Erg Chegaga desert, you will have the chance to engage in quintessential desert activities, including camel trekking and climbing the highest Sahara dunes. These experiences provide a unique perspective on the vastness of the desert, especially as you watch the sun sink below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant hues. The sheer scale of the dunes and the silence of the desert create an atmosphere of profound peace and awe-inspiring natural wonder.


As night falls, you will spend an evening under the vast desert sky, either sleeping in a traditional nomad tent or under the stars if weather permits. This overnight stay offers a rare opportunity to experience the desert's tranquility firsthand. Whether you are admiring the constellations or listening to the quiet whispers of the sand, this journey through the Erg Chegaga region promises an unforgettable adventure into the heart of the Moroccan Sahara and its timeless traditions.

My wife and I booked the 3-day desert trip from Marrakech to Fes. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience, and Morocco is truly a beautiful country. There were several things we appreciated about the tour: What we liked: 1. Our driver was polite, professional, and very helpful throughout the journey. 2. The local tour guides at the various stops were engaging and fun. 3. The schedule was well-coordinated, and everything ran on time, including hotel check-ins and meeting points. 4. The accommodations provided were good and met our expectations. Areas that could be improved: 1. Lunch stops: We were always taken to specific restaurants that seemed to have preset arrangements with the tour. The menu options were very limited and overpriced for the quality. We wouldn’t have minded paying more if the food, service, or ambience justified the price, but they were consistently average or below average. 2. Itinerary coverage: Several places listed in the itinerary were either skipped or given very little time, for example, only about 10 minutes at the Dades Valley viewpoint and the Ouarzazate studio, and many stops on the Merzouga–Fes route were not made. We understand there are time constraints, but in that case, it would be better not to advertise stops that cannot be properly covered. 3. Vehicle comfort: The air-conditioning in the vehicle was not fully functional, as several vents were not working. Overall good experience.

I decided to take a chance with a local Morrocan company after reading they had been in business for a couple of decades. I was a bit nervous at first but I was very happy with the service. They sent Khalid who is very passionate about his country and very knowledgeable. 3 day and 2 nights to Merzouga, Dades Gorges and High Atlas, we spent another 3 nights visiting other beautiful cities of Morroco. Khalid was very kind and respectable and I would totally use him again for a private tour.

Our trip to the Moroccan desert was truly an unforgettable experience. The camel ride through the Sahara was the highlight of my journey. From the long, winding roads to climbing what felt like a stairway to heaven of Ait Ben Haddou under the blazing Moroccan sun, every moment was remarkable. Mustapha, our driver, guided us safely along the twisting paths of the Atlas Mountains, making the adventure both comfortable and memorable.
