Fes to Erg Chigaga Desert Tour End in Marrakech 4-Days

Wake early to witness the magical sunrise over the dunes, as the desert shifts through vibrant colors that range from deep orange to soft pink. After breakfast, savoring traditional Moroccan dishes, set out for Erg Chigaga. Along the way, pass through the rural towns of Alnif and Tazarine, where you’ll catch a glimpse of everyday Moroccan life—children playing in the streets, farmers tending to their fields, and merchants selling their goods in bustling markets. The journey takes you through the Draa Valley, renowned for its extensive date palm groves, ancient kasbahs, and striking mountain backdrops. Take time to stop and explore some of the historic kasbahs, learning about their cultural significance and the role they played in Morocco’s past. Upon arriving at Erg Chigaga, you’ll be met with Morocco’s largest and most remote sand dunes, stretching endlessly into the horizon and far removed from the usual tourist crowds. Feel the thrill of adventure as you ride camels deeper into the untouched desert, the only sounds being the wind brushing the sand and the soft footsteps of your camel. Once at the Berber camp, settle into your traditional tent and immerse yourself in the local culture. As evening falls, gather around a roaring campfire for a feast of local cuisine, prepared using fresh ingredients. Listen to traditional Berber music and storytelling that brings the history and legends of the desert to life. After dinner, take in the serenity of the desert under a sky filled with countless stars, far away from city lights. Marvel at the Milky Way and hear your guide share insights about the constellations visible in this clear, unpolluted sky. Feel the profound peace that only the vastness of the desert can provide as you drift off to sleep in your cozy tent.

After breakfast, say goodbye to the desert and make your way to Marrakech, passing through the picturesque Draa Valley. Stop at historic kasbahs along the way to learn about their cultural significance. Visit Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a remarkable fortified village featured in famous films such as “Gladiator” and “Game of Thrones.” Wander through the narrow alleys and climb to the top for a panoramic view of the landscape. Continue over the High Atlas Mountains via the winding Tizi n’Tichka pass, offering breathtaking views of the mountain range and valleys. Arrive in Marrakech, where the city’s vibrant colors, sounds, and energy mark the end of your incredible journey.
