Escape to Chegaga Dunes

Journey from Marrakech to golden Sahara dunes with camel rides and authentic desert camps.

Full description

Discover the magic of Morocco's most enchanting landscapes on this unforgettable journey to the legendary Chegaga Dunes. This multi-day escape transports you from the vibrant medinas of Marrakech to the heart of the Sahara Desert, where golden sands stretch endlessly beneath star-filled skies and ancient traditions come alive. Your adventure begins with a passage through the dramatic Tichka Pass, leading you to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Benhaddou—a breathtaking kasbah that has captivated filmmakers and travellers alike. As you traverse the stunning Draa Valley, lined with emerald-green palm groves and traditional Berber villages, you'll witness the raw beauty of southern Morocco unfold before your eyes.

The true heart of this experience awaits at the foot of the Erg Chegaga dunes, where you'll experience authentic desert life in comfortable Saharan camps. Watch the sun paint the golden sands in shades of amber and crimson from the back of a camel, a moment of pure magic that will stay with you forever. Along the way, immerse yourself in Morocco's rich cultural heritage—explore the ancient Koranic library in Tamegroute, discover traditional pottery-making techniques, and experience warm hospitality in centuries-old riads and desert lodges.

Your journey continues along the legendary Paris-Dakar route, crossing dramatic salt lakes and mysterious desert landscapes, before ascending back through the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. This isn't merely a tour; it's a transformative experience that connects you with Morocco's soul—its people, its timeless landscapes, and its enchanting spirit. Whether you're an intrepid adventurer or a curious explorer, the Chegaga Dunes await to rewrite your travel story. Book your escape today and create memories that will resonate for a lifetime.
