Merzouga Desert
Erg Chebbi in Merzouga, stands out as the more renowned of the two dune areas in Morocco. Accessible via an 8-hour drive from Fes in the north and Ouarzazate in the west, its popularity is evident in its well-established bivouac scene, attracting more visitors compared to Erg Chigaga. Boasting easier access and larger dunes, Erg Chebbi promises an immersive and unforgettable desert experience, offering a mesmerizing landscape for those seeking the magic of Morocco's vast and enchanting Sahara.
-
Chegaga Desert
Erg Chigaga dunes, situated further south, away from well-trodden paths, offer a raw adventure, far from mass tourism and the comforts of nearby hotels. Accessible by 4x4 cars, the journey takes 2.5 hours to reach the dunes or, alternatively, on camelback. The expedition involves navigating through a rocky desert before reaching the majestic towering dunes. This hard access makes it a real desert experience and distinguishes it from the more frequented Erg Chebbi dunes.
-
Zagora Desert
The Zagora desert, a 6-hour drive from Marrakech, provides a viable alternative for those with limited time. A two-day Zagora tour is recommended for a shorter desert experience during a 4-day stay in Marrakech. However, it's essential to note that Zagora's landscape differs from Merzouga, with more rocky terrains than the massive, coral-orange sand dunes of Merzouga. While both are deserts, the Zagora experience may not align with dreamy expectations of vast dunes.
