  • Chegaga dunes and Lake Iriki is one of the most beautiful desert in the south of Morocco and the clostest real desert that you can reach from Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Zagora, Tata, Taznakht and Agadir.

    It was the gate of the nomades caravanes in the past and the place of the small market that we still called swiqa.
    Nomades were coming from different places in the world to exchange products.

    This is why it´s the best place for desert trekking. You can live some experiences exactly like our nomadic grand parents did, when they were traveling and discovering the authenticity of the desert.

    The sun set from this big dune is just amazing, you can see an ocean of golden waves.

    In the area of lake Iriki are also many oasis, gueltas (natural swimming pool in the desert), mountains, even volcanic mountains, hamada, savanne, etc.

     

    Les dunes de Chegaga et le lac Iriki sont l'un des plus beaux déserts du sud du Maroc et le vrai désert le plus proche que vous pouvez atteindre depuis Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Zagora, Tata, Taznakht et Agadir.

    C'était autrefois la porte des caravanes nomades et la place du petit marché que l'on appelait encore swiqa.
    Des nomades venaient de différents endroits du monde pour échanger des produits.

    C'est pourquoi c'est le meilleur endroit pour faire du trekking dans le désert. Vous pouvez vivre des expériences exactement comme nos grands-parents nomades l'ont fait, lorsqu'ils voyageaient et découvraient l'authenticité du désert.

    Le coucher de soleil depuis cette grande dune est tout simplement incroyable, vous pouvez voir un océan de vagues dorées.

    Dans la région du lac Iriki se trouvent également de nombreuses oasis, des gueltas (piscine naturelle dans le désert), des montagnes, voire des montagnes volcaniques, des hamada, des savanes, etc.
