Climb the dunes of Erg Chigaga
MOROCCO // Climbing to the top of a 300m-high (984ft) sand dune is no easy task. Your feet slip back again and again and every step, conspiring with the audacious heat of the desert, feels like three. But trust us, it's worth it: nothing beats gazing out over the largest sand sea in Morocco and then spending the night in the Sahara, listening to the wind whipping up small sandstorms and create shingle avalanches off the dunes. Erg Chebbi may be better known, but Erg Chigaga steals hearts because of its sense of isolation. Small semi-permanent camps hide in its 40km (25 miles) of troughs, making the experience quiet and enveloping, with some of the best Milky Way viewing you'll ever find.
