Erg Chebbi

Desert M'Hamid El Ghizlane, Draa - Tafilalet, Morocco

What to expect

Erg Chebbi is a small oasis town in the Draa-Tafilalet region of Morocco, located near the city of M'Hamid El Ghizlane. The town is situated at the edge of the Sahara Desert and is known for its stunning sand dunes, which can reach heights of over 100 meters. The area is home to several old, uninhabited ksars, and the surrounding landscape is characterized by palm oases and vast expanses of sand. The region is also home to a variety of wildlife, including gazelles, hyenas, and fennec foxes. Visitors to the area can enjoy activities such as hiking, camel rides, and 4x4 tours, and can experience the local culture by attending the Festival Taragalte, a three-day open-air cultural festival held annually in the dunes near M'Hamid El Ghizlane
