This is a fabulous private Marrakech to Erg Chegaga Tour that you do not want to miss. Erg Chegaga is in the middle of the Sahara desert and is almost 65 kilometres away from the nearest settlement area, M’Hamid. I found that this desert can be described as possessing great, wild spaces, and it will offer those willing to visit a serene, back-to-nature experience. During the journey you will visit old kasbahs, palm groves, and stunning sand dunes of the Sahara and deepen your understanding of Berber culture.
Start the adventure with scenic mountain passes and historic kasbahs.
Start early in the morning with an awesome drive through the High Atlas Mountains and Tizi n Tichka pass at 2260m. This kind of stop at rather dramatic scenic outlooks to peer into spectacular valleys and Berber homesetads.
Explore Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a world-famous film location.
This beautiful example of kasbah is also used in Gladiator and the acclaimed Babel. Savor a guided tour as well as lunch at Kasbah Tamnougalt.
Journey through the lush Dra’a Valley.
Cut across palm fringes, adobe buildings and some age old kasbahs to get to Zagora. Spend the night at a hotel with a vantage view of the valley to enjoy possibly one of the quietest nights.
Discover Tamegroute’s pottery workshops and historical treasures.
Today, if time permits head out to the town of Tamegroute with its famous green pottery and the Koranic library. Discover over time processes that are inherited from one generation to the next.
Experience camel trekking and breathtaking dunes at Erg Chegaga.
Carry on to M’Hamid through scrubs plus sand simplicity of wadis and nomadic regions. Visit Erg Chegaga for camel riding, sandboarding and to capture the best sunset view. Watch traditional Berber music during dinner before spending the night in a private tent, in the manner of nomads.
Begin with an early departure through the serene desert landscape.
The next activity in this virtual tour is a virtual trip through the desert by the Rally-Dakar route after taking breakfast. Cross Iriqui Lake and the hard terrains of Foum Zguid.
Visit Berber carpet cooperatives in Taznakht.
There is also a chance to visit Taznakht, as there operates several cooperatives by women who weave exquisite traditional Berber carpets. Understand the principles of weaving; how to tie; and needlework.
Return to Marrakech through the High Atlas Mountains.
