Getting in sight of the dunes of Erg Chebbi

Merzouga itself has become more or less a tourist circus, with fake touaregs and sledges for sand gliding. We avoided the most popular dunes and camel tours and climbed a couple of dunes in the morning, before the arrival of the groups.

Local kids manage to cycle on the sand...
