Morocco Erg Chigaga
The Erg Chigaga dunes are deep within the Iriqui National Park and it's Moroccos largest sand desert. It is far more pristine than the Erg Chebbi. As it was located in a restricted military zone until around 1990, it was rarely visited by tourists but tourism has started and there some camps around now.
Photography Tips
This region is perfect for astro photography, Besides that the best times are of course at sunrise and sunset. Be prepared for extreme weather conditions with hot days and cold nights and care about protection for equipment against sandy winds.
Travel Information
Not sure if you can go there by your own but it definitely will be safer with guides that will get you to the camp. The only road N9 ends in Mhamid, from there it has only tracks across the terrain
