Excursion Overview
Ideas for your free time
Although the Erg Chebbi, further east, is the more famous sand sea, the Erg Chigaga is actually the largest set of dunes in Morocco, both in terms of height (the highest are 300 metres high, nearly twice the height of the next highest in the country) and area (stretching for 40kms, compared to the 28kms of the Erg Chebbi). They are not as well know largely because they are harder to access, being 2 hours off-road drive from M’Hamid, which is already a long way from anywhere! This also means you have a fraction of the visitors who crowd the other sand seas and dunes, making the Erg Chigaga the only real destination for desert purists in Morocco.

I would definitely use Holiday Architects again.Emma booked us an amazing holiday in Morocco, and really listened to what was important to us. We travelled extensively, staying in local riads to maximise the true feel of the country and what it has to offer. It was a fantastic trip. All the local staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely use Holiday Architects again.

Rebecca at Holiday Architects really listened to me when I described the sort of holiday I wanted. It was truly tailor made for us. We had a fabulous time on our expertly planned multi-destination holiday to Morocco, and all the arrangements and transfers were seamless. Charming people too - I can't recommend this company highly enough and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
