Morocco desert trips

Desert trips from Marrakech and other cities

Our trips collect you at your accommodation — Marrakech, Agadir, Ouarzazate — and reach Erg Chigaga by the most direct road: Taznakht then Foum Zguid, the gateway to the Sahara. Less tarmac, more desert, and a real 4x4 crossing of Lake Iriqui.

Choosing the right length

In 3 days from Marrakech you sleep one night in Foum Zguid and one at the desert camp — the ideal format for a first Sahara. The 4-day trip adds a full day in the erg with no driving and returns through the Draa valley: it is the one we recommend if you only come to Morocco once. Beyond that, our tailor-made service builds trips up to 8 days (Draa valley, the Tissint waterfalls, the grand Iriqui park circuit) — costed line by line, no surcharge. The full length-by-length reasoning is in how many days for the desert.

Still weighing the deserts against each other? The comparison of the best desert tours from Marrakech reviews Agafay, Zagora, Merzouga and Chigaga side by side.

Already in the region? Tours departing from Foum Zguid start at €80 for a full day.

Choosing your departure city

We depart from four cities, and the distance changes everything: Marrakech (4.5 h by road), Ouarzazate (2.5 h, the fastest departure), Agadir (4 h across the Anti-Atlas via Taliouine) and Zagora (2 h on the N12). Each page details the route stage by stage, real drive times and available trips — or see all departure cities.
