Tours From Agadir
In short: private Sahara desert tours from Agadir, 4 to 8 days, from €650 per person. Choose the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi (Merzouga), the wilder Erg Chigaga, or a one-way route that ends in Marrakech.
Agadir sits on the Atlantic coast at the foot of the Anti-Atlas, which makes it a practical starting point for the Moroccan Sahara. Our routes head inland through Taroudant and Taliouine, the saffron country, to the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate. From there you reach the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga by the end of day two, or travel south through Foum Zguid to the remote dunes of Erg Chigaga.
All tours are private, with your own vehicle and driver, and include a camel ride and a night in a desert camp. Choose a 4-day round trip, a one-way 4-day tour that finishes in Marrakech, or a longer 7- or 8-day journey that adds Marrakech and Essaouira before returning to Agadir.

Which Desert Tour from Agadir Is Right for You?
Short on time? Choose a 4-day tour. The dunes are a two-day drive from Agadir, so four days is the shortest comfortable Sahara trip from the coast, with one night in a desert camp.
Want the classic golden dunes? Go to Erg Chebbi at Merzouga, Morocco’s highest and most photographed dunes, reached by paved road through Ouarzazate, the Dades valley and the Todra gorges.
Prefer somewhere wild and quiet? Choose Erg Chigaga, reached through Foum Zguid on a desert track. It sees far fewer visitors than Merzouga.
Not coming back to Agadir? Our one-way 4-day tours cross the Sahara and finish in Marrakech, so you never drive the same road twice.
Want to see more of Morocco? The 7- and 8-day loops add the desert, Marrakech and the coastal town of Essaouira before returning to Agadir.
On the way out, every route passes Taroudant and the saffron country around Taliouine. Expect around five to six hours of driving per day, broken up with photo, lunch and kasbah stops.

Desert Tours from Agadir – FAQ
How long does it take to reach the Sahara from Agadir?
On our routes you reach the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga at the end of the second day, after a night in Ouarzazate. The Erg Chigaga dunes are reached on day two via Foum Zguid. That is why our shortest desert tours from Agadir last 4 days.
Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga: which desert should I choose?
Erg Chebbi at Merzouga has the highest and most famous golden dunes and is reached by paved road. Erg Chigaga is wilder and quieter, reached by a desert track, and suits travellers looking for a more remote experience.
Can the tour end in Marrakech instead of Agadir?
Yes. Our 4-day Agadir to Marrakech desert tour crosses the Sahara and finishes in Marrakech, so you do not drive back the same way.
How much does a desert tour from Agadir cost?
Our 4-day tours start from €650 per person, the 7-day tour from €1,000 and the 8-day tour from €1,250. Prices depend on group size and season. Message us on WhatsApp for a quote.

Are the tours private?
Yes. All our tours are private, with your own vehicle and driver, and the itinerary can be adapted to your interests.
How far is Merzouga from Agadir?
Merzouga is roughly a two-day drive from Agadir. Day one goes over the Anti-Atlas to Ouarzazate, and day two continues through the Dades valley and the Todra gorges to the Erg Chebbi dunes, arriving in time for the sunset camel ride.
Can I do a 2- or 3-day desert tour from Agadir?
Our shortest Sahara tours from Agadir last 4 days. The big dunes are a two-day drive from the coast, so a shorter trip would mean very long days in the car with little time in the desert. If you only have 2 or 3 days, consider starting in Marrakech or Ouarzazate instead.
Which Agadir tour is best for a first visit to Morocco?
The 4-day tour from Agadir to Marrakech via Merzouga is a popular choice: it combines the kasbahs, the gorges and the Erg Chebbi dunes, then ends in Marrakech so you can continue your trip from there.
