Different Moroccan desert regions
Merzouga is known for Erg Chebbi; M’Hamid and Zagora are southeastern gateways. On the western side, Foum Zguid reaches Lake Iriki and Erg Chigaga. Compare distances, landscapes and the visitor experience before deciding.
Why consider Foum Zguid?
Foum Zguid is a strong base for wide tracks and open space. The route to Erg Chigaga combines a 4x4 crossing, Lake Iriki and dunes, and can also anchor a Sahara trek.
4x4, trekking or bivouac?
A 4x4 suits long tracks, a bivouac gives the desert time after sunset, and trekking needs more preparation. The best format is the one that fits your arrival, ability and wish to walk.
When to travel and what to pack
Conditions vary by season. Ask for advice for your dates. Bring water, sun protection, glasses, covering clothes, warm layers for evening and closed shoes.
