The Sahara
Merzouga & the Erg Chebbi Dunes
- About 9 hours
- 2–4 days recommended
The great orange dunes of Erg Chebbi are the image most people have of the Sahara. Ride a camel at sunset, sleep in a desert camp and watch the stars. The journey there, over the Atlas and through the gorges and palm groves of the south, is half the adventure.
