About the Tour
By road, Erg Chigaga is two long days from Marrakech. The helicopter crosses the High Atlas and the Draa Valley in one flight and lands near the camp, so your first afternoon in the desert is a full one.
The rest of the trip is unhurried: a guided morning in the medina, free days in the city and three nights at a camp with large tents and private bathrooms. Flights depend on the weather, and the helicopter has a strict luggage limit.

- Three nights at a luxury camp in Erg Chigaga
