Erg Chigaga
The wild desert: Morocco's biggest dunes, far from everything, reached by 4x4.
Erg Chigaga is Morocco's largest dune field, beyond Zagora and M'Hamid, where the road ends. You reach it by 4x4 across stony plains and oases.
Wilder and less known than Erg Chebbi, Chigaga offers total immersion: remote bivouacs, absolute silence and dunes rising to 300 metres.

Frequently asked questions
Is Chigaga hard to reach?
Two to three hours on tracks by 4x4 from M'Hamid, with our drivers. That is the price of its isolation, and what keeps its beauty intact.
Chebbi or Chigaga?
Chebbi (Merzouga) when access needs to stay easy, Chigaga when you are after adventure and silence. Tell us what you want and we choose together.
