About this journey

If you only have one or two days to spare, this excursion Erg Chegaga was built specifically for you. A 4×4 carries you straight from M’Hamid into Morocco’s largest dune field u2014 dunes up to 300 metres high u2014 for a single night of desert camping before returning the next day.

It skips the multi-day trekking commitment entirely: a camel ride at the dunes, sunset, dinner by the fire, and sunrise the next morning are all packed into a fast, complete desert experience.
