Introduction

The Erg Chebbi Dunes rise at the Sahara's edge by Merzouga, golden-red sands peaking above 150 metres and shifting with the light. Camel rides to the crest for sunrise and sunset, and night camps under the stars, make Morocco's most extreme yet romantic desert encounter. Berber camps and oases dot the dunes; at dusk the sand turns gold to rose then into the deep blue night.
