Merzouga & Erg Chebbi
Erg Chebbi rises straight out of the flat ground at Merzouga, some dunes nearly 150m high. You can see them from the village and then you are inside them.
The place
It is the most accessible of the big ergs, which makes it the usual first night in the sand for guests coming from Fes or Marrakech.
