You arrive at the lip of the Erg Chebbi as the first light pulls color from the sand; the dunes shift and breathe, a low-moving sea that dares you to cross it. A private vehicle from Errachidia carries you through the Ziz Valley—palm groves giving way to ochre ridges—before the road opens onto a horizon of towering dunes.
