2 day itinerary to Chegaga Dunes from Marrakech:
DAY 1: MARRAKECH - HIGH ATLAS - TAZNAGHT - FOUM ZGUID - Lake IRIKI - CHEGAGA ALONE - BIVOUAC THE NOMADS:
This short desert excursion from Marrakech will take you to the truly great desert dunes of Lake Iriki. The perfect trip for all travelers who have little time but still want to experience the real desert. In the morning, your driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel/Riad or nearby to begin your desert excursion to Lake Iriki. Lake Iriki and the great sand dunes of Erg Elmhazil are just 367 km from Marrakech. The Lake Iriki Desert is the closest desert to Marrakech. Along the way, we will have several stops in the High Atlas Mountains to take pictures and rest before continuing towards Foum Zguid. There we will have lunch. Only 1 km after Foum Zguid, we will leave the asphalt road and begin our adventure in the desert. From now on we will only go on the rails.
Our first stop will be near Mount Tajine in a beautiful oasis in the middle of nowhere. We will then continue towards Lake Iriki with a stop at the fossil site.
It was impressive to drive to the great dry lake Iriki. In the middle of the lake, we will turn left to enter the dune - the largest dune is named Erg Elmhazil. At the foot of these dunes you'll find your team of camels. You will climb the big sand dune to watch the sunset from there. Your camel will then take you to Bivouac les Nomades, where the local Iriki lake nomads will greet you with a cup of tea.
At Bivouac les Nomades, you'll sleep in your own private tent. The team will cook delicious local dishes for you. You will enjoy nomadic music and percussion around the bonfire.
DAY 2: BIVOUAC THE NOMADS - FOUM ZGUID - TAZNAGHT - MARRAKECH
In the early morning, you can watch the sunrise from the top of the desert dunes of Lake Iriki. After returning to camp, you'll have an hour to enjoy breakfast before starting your tour back to Marrakech. Your lunch will be served in the high mountains of ATlas, where we will have an hour's break to relax and stretch our legs. We will arrive in Marrakech at the end of the evening and we will drop off at or near your accommodation.
