Erg, also known as Laarg in the Berber language, refers to a large area covered mainly by sand dunes with little vegetation. In Morocco, the two most famous ergs are Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga. Located in the remote desert of southern Morocco, Erg Chigaga is known for its vast dunes and peaceful atmosphere. Because of its remote location, reaching the dunes requires a suitable 4WD vehicle and an experienced local driver.
For travelers looking for an authentic desert experience away from the busier routes, Chigaga desert tours offer a wonderful opportunity to discover a more remote side of the Sahara. The journey itself is part of the adventure, taking you through changing landscapes before reaching the impressive dunes of Erg Chigaga.
At Sahara Desert Excursions, we arrange private Erg Chigaga desert trips departing from Marrakech throughout the year. In addition, our Marrakech Erg Chigaga desert tours can be customized around your travel dates, interests, available time, and preferred accommodation.
