Erg Chebbi Trips & Tours

Let the dune fields and sand towers captivate you in this iconic and accessible portion of the Sahara.
If you know your deserts, you’ll know that Erg Chigaga and Erg Chebbi are the two main ports of call for anyone visiting the Sahara Desert. Mystical, magical and achingly beautiful, this is where you’ll come to marvel at the magnitude of the golden sand, with dunes soaring a staggering 350 metres into the sky, and be enchanted by the spiky shadows of camels traversing the valley floors. The King of the dunes, the Erg Chebbi network is around 3 miles long and 31 miles wide, and possibly the most sought-after, whilst the Erg Chigaga is much more remote, with a good deal of bumps and rocks to contend with on the journey. Both, however, offer camel trekking and dune climbing, never-ending, photogenic landscapes and exhilarating 4WD safaris, and glorious sunrises and sunsets that bring with them a chance to discover the secrets of this unique desert.
Things to do

What to do in Erg Chebbi

Of the Moroccan Desert's dune constellations, Erg Chebbi is one of the most incredible, its towers of sand reaching up to 350 metres high. Led by Berber guides who have grown up in the desert, explore the impressive expanse on long walks - and then sandboard down the face of some of the tallest dunes! When you get peckish, lunch in the shade of an oasis is just the ticket - and if you'd like to explore more, head out on a 4x4 desert drive, stopping at Erfoud to see the fascinating fossils from centuries past.
