SAHARA DESERT IN MOROCCO – Desert Morocco tours & Excursions

Sahara Desert in Morocco is huge and special. Two cool places there are Merzouga and Erg Chigaga desert.

Merzouga has big sand dunes that change color in the sunlight. People love camel rides there and the night sky is full of bright stars.

Erg Chigaga is another part with vast sand dunes. It’s more remote and gives a peaceful feeling. You can go on a desert adventure and see the stunning sunset. Both places are magical spots in Morocco’s Sahara.

MERZOUGA DESERT.

Merzouga is a tiny town in the Sahara Desert in the south of Morocco. It’s like the entrance to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes at the town’s edge. These sand dunes are really tall and change colors when the sun is rising or setting. The best way to enjoy the desert is by riding on a camel and spending a night at a desert camp. Many companies offer these trips, but they can be different in cost, comfort, and experience. In this article, we’ll tell you what you need to know before going to Merzouga and share our 5-day desert experience. We’ll also give an honest review and talk about different activities in the desert at the end.

BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO MERZOUGA & ERG CHEBBI DESERT.

The best time we recommend for traveling to Merzouga is from September to May. This time of the year, the temperature and weather is usually moderately. In addition we are against the people who not recommend Sahara Desert in summer a reason of there are nice hotels and camps with swimming pool, so you can experience the desert and relax in the swimming pool or your room with AC.

ERG CHIGAGA DESERT.

Erg Chegaga, also known as Erg Chigaga, is a stunning group of sand dunes in southeast Morocco. It’s about 500 km from Marrakech, 310 km from Ouarzazate, and just 45 km from the small village of Mhamid. This place is like the charming Sahara desert of Morocco, with its golden sand dunes and different Ergs (sand formations). To explore this wild part of the Moroccan Sahara, you can go on 4wd tours in real adventures.

BEST TIME TO VISIT ERG CHIGAGA.

The ideal time to visit Erg Chigaga is from October to April when the temperatures are pleasant. In the summer months (June, July, and August), it gets extremely hot, reaching over 50 degrees Celsius (120°F). Almost all camps and facilities in the area are closed during this time, so it’s better to plan your visit when the weather is milder and more comfortable.
