Which desert to visit in southern Morocco?

Milon replied 1 year ago

If you are looking for an extraordinary desert experience, Merzouga is the place to be. Merzouga is known in Morocco as the escape to the desert. Most trippers travel there to spend a night in a luxury desert camp and ride a camel through the beautiful Sahara dunes before sunset.

It is also considered to have one of the largest seas of sand dunes formed by wind and the most beautiful sand desert, with some of the most dramatic and colorful sunsets. A place that everyone dreams of visiting at least once in their life. Merzouga is not far from the Algerian border and is easily accessible even with a small vehicle.

What is the best desert in Morocco?

The best desert in Morocco is Erg Chebbi which is located near Merzouga. The best way to visit is through a tour operator who knows the best places to visit, or by renting a vehicle and booking everything yourself. The best time to visit the desert is during the fall or early spring as temperatures are higher in the summer. In the fall, temperatures in the desert are mild throughout the day.

In my opinion, the best desert in Morocco is Erg Chebbi, not far from Rissani. It offers excellent accommodations and beautiful colorful sand dunes. A great place to enjoy sunsets and clear skies with millions of shining stars.

Erg Chigagag is the largest of an area of wild plants and sand dunes that stretches an impressive distance of about 45 kilometers from the rural desert oasis town of M'Hamid, near the Algerian border.

Due to its accessibility, Erg Chebbi is the most visited desert in Morocco. The dunes of Erg Chebbi are located near the town of Merzouga. The dunes reach a height of 150 meters in some places over an area of about 28 kilometers.
