Erg Chebbi
Erg Chebbi ((アラビア語:عرق الشبي)) is one of Morocco's two Saharan ergs – large seas of dunes formed by wind-blown sand. The other is Erg Chigaga near M'hamid. ==Description== The dunes of Erg Chebbi reach a height of up to 150 meters in places and altogether spans an area of 50 kilometers from north to south and up to 5–10 kilometers from east to west lining the Algerian border.〔(Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi – Rough Guides )〕 The nearest sizable town is Erfoud, about 60 kilometers further north. One other city is Rissani, around 40 kilometers from Merzouga, and from the 8th to the 14th century there was a separate kingdom, known as Sijilmassa, which was prosperous owing to former caravan routes. Although rainfall is very brief and uncommon,〔(Travel To The Erg Chebbi Dunes in Morocco's Sahara Desert )〕 in 2006 flooding adjacent to the dunes destroyed many buildings and killed three people.
