From Fez to Mhamid lghizlane ( 8 days )


Many travelers have to choose one region of the Sahara Desert in Morocco to visit while on their trip.

Those choices are the Erg Chebbi desert (located near Merzouga) or the more-removed Erg Chigaga desert (located south of Zagora and M’hamid).

This Sahara Desert trip is the first itinerary (as far as we know!) that takes travelers through both regions of Morocco’s beautiful Sahara landscapes.

This trip is not for the weary or meek since it involves longer days in transport, some rough 4×4 transport (especially in Erg Chigaga), and isolated regions not yet on the tourist trail.

While you’ll be roughing it through the day, at night, you’ll be able to enjoy high-quality accommodations (even our tents are nice), great meals, and the friendliest company you could hope to have.

If explore the Sahara is one of your dreams, make it come to reality with this unique route.
