Itinerary

Departure from Zagora

Erg Chigaga Dunes

The main highlight of the trip is Erg Chigaga, one of the largest dune fields in southern Morocco. This is where the experience becomes more immersive, with time to enjoy the desert atmosphere and the remoteness of the landscape.

Is it worth it?

Yes, this tour is worth considering if you want a more authentic-feeling Sahara overnight trip from Zagora without needing a longer 3-day itinerary. The biggest advantage is access to Erg Chigaga, which feels more remote and impressive than some shorter desert options closer to Zagora.
