In Morocco, the Sahara Desert is located South of the Atlas Mountains. Once you’ve crossed over the mountains, you’ll reach the fortified city of Ouarzazate, considered the gateway to the Sahara. From here, you’ll pass across miles of barren gravel desert (known as ‘regs’), speckled with small desert oases and bare rocky plateaus known as hamadas. Most travellers end up in one of the two largest dune fields of the Moroccan Sahara, Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga. Golden dunes that undulate towards the horizon, changing shape with the wind. It’s here you can trek with camels or spend a night under the stars in a Berber campsite.
