You are in tafroute south of Agadir and you are wondering which is the closest best sahara desert near by tafoute ? You still believe that the only access to the desert from tafroute is to cross tata , foum zguid, to reach zagora and then from zagora to mahamid Elghizlane to reach erg chegaga?

You don’t need to make the whole cercle till zagora to make your desert tour. You will take the raod from tafraoute to tata around 160 kilometers and then from tata to foum zguid the gate to the sahara. From Foum Zguid is around 1hour and half to reach the dunes of erg chegaga. If you have a rental car you can drive from tafraoute to tata and from tata to foum zguid around 120 kilometers and we will meet you in our office in foum zguid and pickup you with our 4×4 to erg chegaga.

If you arrive to foum zguid in the evening around 15:00 or even 17:00 no worries it is still possible to have one night in the desert of erg chegaga and return next morning to foum zguid or you can even continue to mahamid with our 4×4 and we arrange the driver from foum zguid to pickup your car to mahamid Elghizlane that you find your car already in Mhamid Elghizlane when you arrive there . You can even have several days in erg chegaga to discover the lake iriki, the nomads life style. You can have an adventure of quads biking, or camel trekking.

Nb : if you don’t have your own car we can organize your tafroute desert tour to erg chegaga from tafraoute
