About this tour

Discover the wild Moroccan Sahara on this private 5-Day Marrakech to Erg Chegaga Desert Tour with Desert Espace.

This unforgettable desert adventure starts and ends in Marrakech, taking you through the spectacular High Atlas Mountains, the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, Ouarzazate, the magnificent Draa Valley, and the remote dunes of Erg Chegaga.
