2 Days Sahara Desert Tour to Erg Lihoudi in Mhamid

Overview

You can ride a camel, climb sahara dunes, sift cinnamon-and-sugar sand through your fingers, enjoy magnificent views, and spend the night in a tent or beneath the stars on the wonderful Erg Chigaga desert tour. Another well-known set of saharan dunes are the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga. The Erg Chebbi dunes are more well-known, covering a 50-kilometer expanse and rising up to 150 meters in certain places. To spend the night in a conventional hotel room or a luxurious tent before exploring the Merzouga desert and its surrounds during the day, there are hotels along the edge of the desert.
