    Agdez to Erg Chagaga

    Following breakfast, you'll check out the remaining kasbah before heading down the ancient caravan road that winds through oases and villages between the river and the mountains. The journey takes you to M'hamid at the desert's edge, where you'll have lunch and then mount camels for a two-hour ride across the sand. After that, you'll drive about 60km through varied desert terrain to reach Erg Chagaga with its massive 300m-high dunes.

    We loved our tour. Ismael our driver was attentive to our needs. The riads we stayed in and the experiences we had were great for introducing us to traditional Morocco. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Thank you for an amazing experience. Mustafa was fun, caring, informative and very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited. We learnt so much from him. The accomodation was excellent and the recommendation to upgrade our tent in the desert was definitely worth it. Our guide in the desert, Saed, was also fun and attentive. For future travellers make sure you have a long scarf for wind protection in the desert, just in case. We travelled in a spacious air con van which was definitely needed. Thank you for an amazing experience. Morocco has been fabulous, especially the Sahara. I would definitely use this company again. Shukran Tour Radar and Mustafa. 🤎💙🩵

    My wife and I just did a 8 day tour through Marocco with Private Desert Tours and we had the best experience possible! We started from Marrakesh and went to Merzouga Desert, Fes, Chefshouan, etc. Everything was perfect. The hotels (Riads and Casas) were amazing, the transportation was very comfortable, we had guides waiting for us in every main city and tourist location, the food was incredible. I extra thanks to our guide and driver Ismail. He made everything even more special. Not only an amazing guide and driver, but great DJ and friend. Look no further! You just found the best option available for Marocco tours.
