Erg Chegaga is a large erg, or sand dune field, located in the Moroccan Sahara Desert. It is known for its stunning sand dunes, which can reach heights of over 300 feet, and its beautiful landscape, which includes palm groves, oases, and ancient dry riverbeds. The area is a popular destination for tourists, who come to experience the desert and participate in activities such as sandboarding, camel trekking, and camping.
