Erg Chegaga, or Erg Chigaga, is one of the beautiful sand dunes in southeast Morocco. Situated around 80km from foum zguid Village. With its golden sea dunes and varied Ergs, we can definitely call it the charming Sahara desert of Morocco. This wild Moroccan Sahara can be explored only in 4wd tours or by old-style camel trekking trips if you love real adventures.
We have two types of desert in the country: rocky desert that we refer to as REG and sandy desert called ERG. To explore Chegaga you get a chance to off-road from Reg to Erg to better understand our epic Sahara experience.
Pick up from our office in Foum Zguide with a 4x4 at 12 or 14:00 to the biggest sand dunes in Morocco at Erg Chegaga. Between the Wadi Drâa and the southern fall of the Anti-Atlas, we will arrive at the Lake Iriki desert. It is a place of passage for many migratory birds during the infrequent rains. You can search for and gather some fossils before continuing on to the enormous group of Saharan dunes, which reach a height of 300 meters and cover an area of 40 kilometers. Dinner and night in a luxury Nomad tent camp after a 1-hour camel trek to enjoy the golden sunset of the desert.
Your driver and guide will be prepared to begin the second day of your desert tour after you have had a traditional breakfast and have enjoyed the sunrise at the large dunes of the Erg Chegaga desert. You'll like exploring the Lake Iriki sand dunes while driving through them. On your way back to Foum Zguid. Then we'll carry on with Zguid.
