Frequently asked questions
About Erg Chebbi
Erg Chebbi is a large area of sand dunes located in the Sahara Desert in southeastern Morocco. The currency used in Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham. Erg Chebbi is known for its stunning orange sand dunes that can reach up to 150 meters in height, offering a unique and picturesque desert landscape. Visitors can experience camel treks, camping under the stars, and exploring the Berber villages scattered around the dunes.
When to visit
The best time to visit Erg Chebbi is during the cooler months of October to April when temperatures are more moderate and comfortable for exploring the desert. Summer months from May to September can be extremely hot with temperatures reaching over 40 degrees Celsius, making it challenging to enjoy outdoor activities. It is advisable to avoid visiting during the peak of summer to ensure a more pleasant experience.
Getting around
To get around Erg Chebbi, visitors can hire a local guide who is familiar with the desert terrain and can lead camel treks or 4x4 excursions through the dunes. Many accommodations in the area also offer transportation services to and from the desert camps. Walking and hiking are popular ways to explore the dunes on foot, but it is important to stay hydrated and protected from the sun due to the harsh desert conditions.
Traveller tips
Pack light and breathable clothing to stay comfortable in the desert heat. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen to stay hydrated and protected from the sun. Respect the local customs and traditions of the Berber people who call Erg Chebbi home. Book accommodations in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to secure a spot in the desert camps. Experience a sunrise or sunset over the sand dunes for a truly magical and unforgettable moment. Try traditional Moroccan dishes like tagine and couscous for an authentic culinary experience.
