Erg Chegaga

Morocco’s largest and wildest desert, reached by track beyond M’Hamid.

Beyond M’Hamid, the last village in the Drâa valley, the old Paris-Dakar tracks alternate between stony plateaux (reg) and sand dunes (erg) all the way to Erg Chegaga, the largest and wildest of Morocco’s deserts. On the way, a stop at the Sacred Oasis recalls the caravans of the past.

You spend the night at a desert camp, in a nomad tent or a comfort tent, with separate showers and toilets. A camel ride or a walk, sunset and sunrise over the dunes, then the return via the dry lake of Iriki and Foum Zguid, at the foot of the jbel Bani.
