Agadir towards the wild desert
A route shaped with you
From Agadir, the route to Erg Chigaga crosses the Anti-Atlas and Draa palm groves before reaching a more remote Sahara. It is another gateway to the desert.
The desert from Agadir is not simply an extension of the coast. The road gradually enters the Anti-Atlas and valleys before reaching the great dunes of Erg Chigaga.
It is a good choice if you seek wider landscapes, a more adventurous road and a Sahara away from the main routes.
Three days offer a powerful immersion, with road time and a night in the dunes. Adding time lets you slow down in the Draa, enjoy an oasis or extend the desert according to your interests.
We set out driving times and overnight options before suggesting the right version.

Questions we are asked
Yes. Agadir is an excellent departure for Erg Chigaga, crossing the Anti-Atlas and Draa Valley. Three days allow a first immersion.
Erg Chigaga is the more natural choice from Agadir. Merzouga lies on the other side of the country and suits a longer route or different departure.
An idea is enough to start.
