3-Day Zagora to Erg Chigaga 4x4 Desert Expedition — 2 Nights

Zagora, Morocco
1 / 11

What to expect

Spend two nights in the remote Chigaga desert on a slower-paced private 4x4 expedition with dunes, camel trekking, camp meals and desert exploration.

  • Duration3 days
  • Hotel pickupIncluded
  • Group sizePrivate · min. 2 people

  • Two full nights in the remote Chigaga desert
  • A full central day for desert walks and rest
  • Camel trek and sunrise and sunset scenery
  • Private 4x4 with driver-guide
  • Simple traditional camp meals and dark-sky views

Unlike the fast one-night circuit, this trip devotes a full middle day to Erg Chigaga and surrounding desert landscapes. Leave Zagora through M’Hamid on day one, reach your desert camp and watch sunset. Day two offers a guided camel walk, dunes, photography, rest and a short planned 4x4 outing without promising visits to inhabited nomad camps. Day three returns by the agreed safe route; Lake Iriki and Foum Zguid are optional only where genuinely contracted.
