Tour features
Seven days sightseeing and camel safari tour from the red Imperial city of Marrakech to the south-Sahara desert and Erg Chigaga as the largest and still natural sand dune in the Moroccan Sahara desert. Located in the Drâa-Tafilalet area near the rural town and oasis of M'Hamid El Ghizlane and south of the desert town Zagora, some dunes are up to 40km in width, up to 300m high and are the largest, wildest and most unforgiving in Morocco. The south-Sahara desert is only accessible by 4x4, camel or on foot; therefore considered a romantic destination and a photographers dream.
