There are a few places on earth which compare to Morocco’s incredible Sahara Desert

Situated on Morocco’s western border, the Sahara Desert is the world's largest desert – spanning an area similar to that of the United States. A desert adventure is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and something we would wholeheartedly recommend.

The Erg Chebbi and the Erg Chigaga are the two most famous sand dunes with each offering a completely different experience.

The Erg Chebbi dunes is more accessible with modern hotels located just a 30-minute camel ride away while the Erg Chigaga dunes are more rustic, located around 60km from the nearest road. Both sand dunes offer the opportunity to ride camels and climb the dunes while admiring picture perfect views and sleeping under the stars.
