Off-Road to Erg Chigaga

Leave the road behind and travel by 4x4 across remote desert landscapes and wide open spaces where nomadic life can still be found.

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Fint Oasis.

Begin the journey back toward Marrakech, passing through the landscapes of Ouarzazate and crossing the High Atlas Mountains once again.

There is time for scenic stops along the way before descending toward Marrakech. Arrival is in the afternoon or evening, depending on your preferred stops and pace.
