Highlights
This 2-day adventure offers travelers the chance to explore the true heart of the Moroccan Sahara in complete authenticity. Starting from Mhamid, the last village before the vast desert, you’ll travel by 4×4 across rocky plains and sand dunes to reach the spectacular Erg Chegaga — one of Morocco’s most remote and untouched dune regions. Along the way, you’ll witness the stunning contrast between palm groves, dry riverbeds, and golden dunes shaped by the wind. At sunset, enjoy a peaceful camel ride before spending the night in a traditional Berber camp under a sky filled with stars. Unlike many tours that visit busier desert areas, this experience takes you off the beaten path to discover the authentic Sahara, guided by locals who know its secrets, songs, and traditions. The warm hospitality, campfire dinner, and sunrise over the dunes make this an unforgettable journey for travelers seeking adventure, culture, and serenity.

About M'Hamid
M'Hamid is the last oasis village at the end of the Draa Valley road, a gateway to the Saharan dunes of southern Morocco.
M'Hamid El Ghizlane lies at the southern end of the Draa Valley in south-eastern Morocco, where the road ends and the Sahara begins. The village is a small place of mud-brick houses and a market, set among palm groves watered by the Draa river, which usually runs dry before it reaches the Atlantic. Berber and Arab families live here, and for centuries caravans crossed the desert from this edge of the sand.
