Yes. Every Top Desert journey is completely private for your group. You will have your own vehicle and driver, and the itinerary can be adjusted around your interests, preferred pace and accommodation style. You will not be placed in a shared tour with other travellers.
Erg Chigaga is best suited to travellers seeking a remote, peaceful and more exclusive Sahara experience away from the busiest tourist areas. Reaching the dunes includes an off-road journey, which adds to the feeling of entering the wild desert.

Three days is the minimum for a Sahara journey from Marrakech, but it involves substantial driving and provides limited time at the dunes. Four or five days offer a more balanced experience, with additional time for southern Morocco's valleys, kasbahs, villages and desert landscapes.
Travellers who have the time will usually enjoy a four-day Erg Chigaga itinerary more than a rushed three-day journey. Compare the suggested itineraries .
