Overview

We organise guided private morocco desert tours from Agadir to M'hamid and the Erg Chigaga dunes, with stops at Aït Benhaddou, Ouarzazate and the Draa Valley along the way. This 3-day, 2-night morocco desert tour itinerary includes a 4x4 desert crossing, a camel ride into the dunes and overnight stays in a traditional Berber camp — among the wildest sahara desert tours morocco offers from the coast. Travellers often pair it with our Marrakech desert tours page or the longer 4-day desert tour from Marrakech for a fuller Sahara experience.

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

Agadir - Taroudante - Taliouine - Foum Zguid - Erg Chegaga

Begin your private Sahara desert tour from Agadir with Local Morocco Tours, your dedicated desert specialist. After hotel pickup, we drive to Taroudant — known as "Little Marrakech" — to wander the vibrant spice and clothing souks and, if time allows, visit a women's cooperative. We then continue to Taliouine, the heart of Morocco's saffron country, to taste a glass of saffron tea, before pushing on to Foum Zguid and the towering Erg Chigaga dunes. You will enjoy a spectacular sunset and a camel ride, and spend the night in a traditional Berber bivouac under a sky full of stars.

Day 2

Erg Chigaga - Iriqui Lake - Taroudante - Ouarzazate

After sunrise and breakfast we set off in 4x4 vehicles back towards Foum Zguid, this time crossing the dry bed of Lake Iriqui. We continue to Ouarzazate, with time to take in the Foum Zguid region along the way. Dinner and overnight stay in a hotel.

Day 3

Ouarzazate - Marrakech - Agadir

Today our three-day Agadir to Chigaga journey continues as we cross the High Atlas Mountains to Aït Benhaddou — a UNESCO World Heritage kasbah — before arriving in Marrakech for a short guided visit. We then transfer you back to Agadir. Local Morocco Tours will be glad to craft a flawless Chigaga Sahara desert tour for you, your family, your friends or your group.
