Day 2
ERG CHEBBI
Erg Chebbi is the large sand-sea which effectively marks the start of the real Sahara and some of the dunes in this area rise to over 245 metres. The colours of the rising and setting sun over these dunes make for a truly magical experience. Enjoy your morning at leisureexploring the town of Erfoud before departing on a 4 X 4 vehicle tour to explore the regions souks, fossil digs, highest sand dunes in North Africa and experience an exhibition of traditional Gnaoua music before heading into the desert for a night under the stars, sleeping in traditional Berber nomadic tents.
Rise early in the morning to see the amazing sunrise over the dunes. We drive you back to your hotel in Erfoud to re-fresh and take breakfast before departing back to Fes.
This is an extensive day’s drive but the scenery across the Atlas Mountains and South of Morocco is truly mesmerising and dramatic and well worth it once you have reached your destination.
On your arrival in Fes we will transfer you to your Hotel.
