ERG CHEBBI AND AIT BENHADDOU DESERT TOUR 3 OR 4 DAYS

Erg Chebbi is a remote stretch of dunes about 22 Km from north to south and about 5 Km from east to west at the widest point. The highest dune, 884 m, is in the north. Among the dunes there are several oasis and you can easily get water just by digging a little. The trip to the oasis starts with a long route by road which is an experience itself geographically speaking, and also because of the numerous stops to cool down and get in contact with the local people.
