Highlight of our Morocco trip!
The 1-day expedition was intense but absolutely worth it. The dunes of Chigaga are massive and untouched. Our driver was safe and very friendly.
Magnifique expérience
Un dépaysement total en une seule journée. Le déjeuner au bivouac était délicieux et l'organisation parfaite. Merci à toute l'équipe!
