Erg Chigaga

Morocco's most remote and pristine sea of dunes — reachable only by 4x4 or camel from M'Hamid, with 40 km of towering dunes far from any tourist route

Highlights

• Remote Dune Sea: 40 km of rolling orange dunes with no roads, no villages and almost no other visitors — the closest Morocco comes to the true deep Sahara
• Camel & 4x4 Expeditions: Reaching Erg Chigaga requires a 50 km 4x4 piste or a multi-day camel trek from M'Hamid — part of what makes it so special
• Milky Way Stargazing: Virtually no light pollution makes Erg Chigaga one of North Africa's best spots for night photography and stargazing with the naked eye
