9 Day Camel Trek in Erg Chigaga is our most complete Sahara expedition: a genuine desert crossing on camelback through the remote dune fields of southern Morocco.
Why Choose This 9 Day Camel Trek in Erg Chigaga
Nine days is enough to trek slowly and deliberately across the M’Hamid region’s full range of dune formations, oases and nomad routes, rather than rushing through.
