Morocco Wild Desert Tour – Private Erg Chigaga Sahara Adventure
Our Morocco Wild Desert Tour is for travelers who want to go beyond the usual tourist route and experience the wild side of the Sahara. Over 10 days, you travel from Marrakech through kasbahs and oases to the remote Erg Chigaga dunes, then along Morocco’s Atlantic coast. This private tour is a favorite for US families and couples who want real adventure with comfort: off‑road 4×4 tracks, wild dunes, small towns, and time to slow down shwiya b’shwiya.

Morocco Wild Desert Tour – 10‑Day Itinerary
What Makes This Morocco Wild Desert Tour Special?
Erg Chigaga – Morocco’s Hidden Sahara
Most tours go to Merzouga (Erg Chebbi), which is beautiful but busy. This itinerary focuses on Erg Chigaga, a wilder, less crowded dune field where you still feel the silence of the desert.
Perfect for Families and Adventurous Couples
This tour mixes adventure and comfort: riads, a quality desert camp, coastal towns, and free days. It’s ideal for families with older kids and couples who want more than a standard route.
Flexible and Customizable
This 10‑day plan is a starting point. We can:
- Start or end in Casablanca instead of Marrakech
- Add or remove days
- Upgrade accommodations to boutique or luxury level
- Adjust pace for kids, older travelers, or very active guests.
Honest Note from Morkosh Tours
There are faster ways to “see the desert” in Morocco, but many feel rushed and hshuma – long driving days, very little time in the dunes, and big, crowded camps.
With this Morocco Wild Desert Tour, we prefer to travel shwiya b’shwiya: realistic driving days, a full day in the desert, and time on the coast to decompress. If you only have a week, we’ll tell you honestly what’s realistic and what’s not, so your trip feels like a holiday, not a race.
Morocco Wild Desert Tour FAQs
What can I expect from the Morocco Wild Desert Tour?
A 10‑day private itinerary that combines Marrakech, kasbahs, oases, the wild Erg Chigaga dunes, and Morocco’s Atlantic coast. You travel with a private driver (and local guides in key stops), stay in riads and a desert camp, and enjoy a mix of adventure and downtime.
How long is the Morocco Wild Desert Tour?
The example itinerary is 10 days / 9 nights. We can shorten or extend it depending on your flights and how many places you’d like to include.
Is the itinerary flexible?
Yes. This is a template, not a rigid group tour. We can:
Start in Casablanca instead of Marrakech
Swap Mirleft for Essaouira
Add more time in Marrakech or the desert
Adjust the daily pace for families, older travelers, or very active guests
What type of accommodations are included?
We usually suggest a mix of boutique riads, comfortable guesthouses, and a quality desert camp in Erg Chigaga. You can choose from standard, boutique, or more luxury options depending on budget.
Are meals included in the tour package?
Breakfast is typically included every day. Many dinners are included outside the big cities (Skoura, desert camp, Taroudant, coastal towns). Lunches are often flexible so you can try local restaurants or picnics; in Marrakech, you’re free to explore.
What should I pack for the Morocco Wild Desert Tour?
Desert nights can be cool, and coastal towns can be windy. We recommend layers, a light jacket, comfortable walking shoes, a scarf or buff, sun protection, and swimwear for the coast.
