5-Day Erg Chigaga Desert Expedition
Erg Chigaga sits farther, quieter, less trampled than its northern sister. Five days to reach sand that holds silence differently. You take the salt roads through M'Hamid, cross terrain where the only signs are tire tracks from last season. The dunes here don't perform—they just are. You return through valleys that taste of stone and time.
Your Route

Day 1
Marrakech → Tamnougalt
Past Ouarzazate, the land exhales into the Draa. Palm groves appear in long green lines against rust and dust. Tamnougalt rises from red earth—a kasbah that breathes with age. You walk through rooms where mud walls hold centuries. Tea is poured without ceremony. The silence here isn't empty. It's full of something you can't name yet.

Day 2
Tamnougalt → Erg Chigaga
The Draa Valley stretches south. Zagora passes like a half-remembered name. Beyond M'Hamid, the road ends and the desert begins. Erg Chigaga rises in golden waves—pristine, remote, untouched by easy access. Camp appears at the edge of dunes. No generators. No performance. Just sand still warm from the day, and stars arriving early.

Day 3
Erg Chigaga → Foum Zguid
North from the pristine dunes. The sand releases you slowly, reluctantly. M'Hamid passes—last town before nothing. Then the track finds Foum Zguid, an outpost at the edge of the Sahara where the road remembers how to be a road again.

Day 4
Foum Zguid → Marrakech
The long road home. Taznakht's weavers pass. Ouarzazate marks the turn. Then the climb over Tizi n'Tichka—switchbacks and shepherd country, the Atlas showing its spine. Marrakech appears below as the pass releases you. The desert stays in your skin.
