Traveler Reviews
Authentic Desert Experience
Starting from Zagora was perfect. We avoided the long drive from Marrakech and went straight into the dunes. The camps were beyond comfortable.
Magical 4 days
The pacing of this 4-day trip is excellent. Spending multiple nights in different parts of the desert (Erg Lihoudi then Chigaga) really lets you disconnect.
