Erg Chebbi, a majestic sand sea in Morocco’s desert, stretches for about 17 miles (28 kilometers) and features towering dunes that rise to heights of approximately 525 feet (160 meters). Located near the town of Merzouga, this expansive area is the Moroccan Sahara’s most popular destination for desert camping. Visitors can explore the vast, undulating dunes, experience the serene silence of the desert, and spend nights under the star-studded sky, immersing themselves in the unique and tranquil environment.
