Today I would like to tell you about Erg Chebbi desert, which is in the southeast of the country and bordering Algeria. It is a field of dunes that achieves one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, undoubtedly deserving of seeing it at least once in life.

If you want to travel to the Erg Chebbi desert you must have a lot adventurous spirit And also a lot of patience, and it is that to get there you will have to travel many roads and in Morocco it cannot be said that they are of high quality.

In this desert you can do many things in addition to enjoying the scenery, such as sleeping in a tent or touring all its dunes on the back of a camel. If you go to travel to Morocco and you want to visit this desert, I recommend that you contract the visit with a specialized company since it is much better than doing it on your own.

Walking through the desert is hard so it is best to prepare before traveling, going for a walk or exercising daily for at least half an hour so that the body gets used to it. Once there, it is recommended to spend the night in Ouarzazate, one of the most beautiful areas out there and where you can visit various fortifications. There you will also find studios where famous films such as "Gladiator" or "The Mummy" have been recorded.

Any excursion you want to do in this desert can be done in various ways, such as on a camel, quad bike or in a 4×4. If you like skiing, there are areas where you can practice in the dunes, quite an experience.
