The 3-Day Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech To Erg Chigaga is the most exciting tour for travelers with only three days available who want a unique and comprehensive desert experience. On this trip, you are far away in the dunes, far from any impression of civilization.

Your Marrakech To Erg Chigaga starts by being picked up from your hotel or Riad in Marrakech at 8:00 am to head south for the magnificent High Atlas Mountains. You cross the Tizin-Tichka pass, (2660m) the highest pass in North Africa. You will be amazed by the panoramas and will want to take memorable photos. Simply tell your driver where you want to stop.

Along the way, you will visit the former presidential palace, Kasbah Telouet, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou. These are the two most famous kasbahs in Morocco and are an essential part of any desert tour. Before arriving in Ouarzazate, you can visit the Atlas Film Studios and see the sets of many Hollywood films still in place here.

 That night, you will have the thrill of spending the night in a traditional rural riad or an authentic guesthouse in Agdez, a small town just at the head of the Dra’a valley, which descends towards the desert. From there, you get the distinct impression that you are on your way to a different world—new, exciting, and oriental. With a local guide to explain the history, you have the option of visiting the largest of the hundreds of Kasbahs in the valley, namely Kasbah Tamnougalt.

De là, l'excitation augmente lorsque vous vous éloignez de la route à travers la vallée du Drâa, en passant devant d'anciennes kasbahs et des oasis verdoyantes. Cela fait partie de l'ancienne route des caravanes qui transportaient des marchandises du Mali et du Niger après avoir traversé le Sahara pendant des jours.

After reaching the largest city before the Sahara, Zagora, you will have the opportunity to visit the cooperative of the famous nationwide green pottery and the Koranic library with its magnificent manuscripts, have this cutting edge experience to ride a camel in the dunes of Erg Chigaga.

 La nuit, sous l'étonnante voûte étoilée, vous dormirez dans un confortable camp de luxe dans le désert, au pied des plus grandes dunes du Sahara au Maroc. Le lendemain, l'émerveillement continue alors que vous conduisez hors route dans le désert du Sahara, à la recherche de fossiles dans le lac asséché d'Iriqui, et que vous apprenez les techniques de fabrication de tapis berbères à Taznakht.
