Chegaga or Merzouga: Which Desert Should You Choose?
The tallest dunes or the widest ones, the road or the track, hotels or nothing — an honest comparison from the Chegaga side.
Start with your wider itinerary
We arrange journeys around Chigaga and Foum Zguid. That is our specialism, and it shapes our suggestions; Merzouga may still fit a different Morocco itinerary better. Compare your previous and next stops before choosing.
What matters more than dune height
The meeting point, camp transfer, actual riding time, bathrooms and nights on site shape your experience. A destination name alone guarantees neither solitude nor a particular standard of comfort.

Our approach to Chigaga
Our Foum Zguid journeys link Iriki and the dunes by desert tracks, with a camp night or several stages depending on the circuit. Multi-day treks have their own walking and camel-supported programme. The four-day trek reaches the edge of Chegaga, rather than making a complete crossing.
Compare the same journey
Compare the group price for equivalent dates and arrangements. A bed in camp without transfers is not the same purchase as a private circuit from Marrakech. Check lunches, drinks and return transport in each quote.
