This 3-day adventure offers one of the most authentic Sahara experiences from Marrakech. Unlike standard desert tours that stop in crowded areas, this trip takes you deep into the real desert of Erg Chegaga, a remote dune region accessible only by 4×4 vehicles.

Travelers will discover the spectacular contrast between the High Atlas Mountains, lush oases, and the vast Sahara. You’ll enjoy a comfortable drive with a professional, local driver-guide who knows every hidden trail and viewpoint.

The experience includes an overnight stay in Agdez, and a magical night under the stars in a nomadic camp surrounded by dunes. The camel ride at sunset, traditional dinner by the campfire, and authentic Berber hospitality make this journey unforgettable.

With small-group or private options, flexible itinerary, and all meals included, this tour is the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and comfort—a genuine desert escape beyond the usual tourist routes.
