3 Days Ouarzazate Desert Tour

The Ultimate 3 Days Ouarzazate Desert Tour: Journey to the Great Dunes of Erg Chigaga

Looking for the ultimate Morocco desert adventure to the Erg Chigaga sand dunes? Our camel treks and desert tours from Ouarzazate to Erg Chigaga or M’hamid run daily and offer a truly authentic Sahara experience. These tours include an overnight stay in a desert camp beneath traditional tents—since there are no hotels directly in the Erg Chigaga dunes area, which lies 60 km off-road (around 2 hours’ drive) from M’hamid, where hotel accommodations are available.

We offer 3, 4, and 5-day desert tours and camel treks from Ouarzazate to Erg Chigaga, with itineraries that pass through remarkable locations like Zagora, Lake Iriki, Foum Zguid, and Tazenakht, forming a scenic Sahara loop.

Since the drive from Ouarzazate to Erg Chigaga takes around 6 hours without stops, we highly recommend our 3 days ouarzazate desert tour for a more relaxed journey. This option allows you to spend the first night in a hotel in either M’hamid or Zagora and the second night camping amid the Erg Chigaga dunes. You can choose between a standard desert camp or upgrade to a luxury tent for an extra fee. This itinerary ensures you arrive earlier to the dunes and gives you more time to enjoy the untouched beauty and serenity of the Moroccan Sahara.
