The two-day desert tour from Marrakech to the Chegaga dunes departs from your riad at six in the morning and travels through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains, Berber villages, and barber village of Taznakht. There, you will have the opportunity to visit a group of women who work together to create the renowned Berber carpets using a variety of techniques. After lunch, you continue your desert adventure to Foum Zguid village, from where you will travel to the Erg Chegaga desert dunes via the unique off-road route and the dry lake of Iriqui. You will be greeted with a drink of mint tea upon arriving in the Chegaga Desert, and then you will embark on a camel ride to see the sunset.
