    A four-day private walking trek through the great Erg Chegaga — Morocco's wildest and most remote dune sea, far south of Zagora. Starting from Mhamid, you walk each day with a Berber guide while camels carry the water, food and camp gear. Nights are spent in nomadic bivouacs at Sidi Naji, the Ezzahar dunes and Kriaat Jmal — dinner cooked on the fire, stargazing and traditional music under the sky. A slow, immersive alternative to the classic Merzouga road trip.

      FAQ

      Everything you may want to know

      Erg Chegaga is the great remote dune sea of southern Morocco, deep beyond Zagora. The trek starts and ends in the desert village of Mhamid. We can arrange the road transfer from Marrakech (2 days via Ouarzazate and the Draa Valley) — quoted separately from the trek itself.

      About 4–6 hours of walking per day at an easy Berber pace, with a long lunch break in the shade. Camels carry everything, so you only walk with a small day pack. Suitable for anyone in normal health — no technical skills needed.

      It's a fully private, tailor-made trek — the price depends on group size, season and level of comfort. Send us your dates and number of people on WhatsApp and we'll send a personal quote by return.

      Three nights in mobile nomadic bivouacs at Sidi Naji, the Ezzahar dunes and Kriaat Jmal. Simple Berber tents with mattresses and blankets, meals cooked on the fire, music and stargazing at night. It's the real nomadic experience, not a fixed luxury camp.

      Comfortable closed walking shoes, a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small day pack, a warm layer for cold desert nights (even in summer), a headtorch, wet wipes and a power bank. We provide a Berber cheche (turban) if you'd like.

      Mid-September to end of April. Days are warm (20–28°C) and nights are cool to cold. We do not recommend the trek in July or August — daytime temperatures in the deep Sahara can exceed 45°C.
