Morocco is known for its large variety of deserts, so the popularity of sandboarding as recreational activity comes as no surprise. You can surf the sand dunes at the majestic Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga – the two main seas of sand in the Sahara. Sandboarding has never been considered an “official sport” but is practiced by many enthusiasts around the world.
A combination of surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding, sandboarding involves descending the surface of the dunes instead of snowy slopes or water waves. Sandboarding is a great way to explore the sand dunes in Morocco, especially if it`s something you’ve never tried before.
It will be a unique experience to slide on the dunes, attached to your board while immersing yourself in the vastness and ocean of sand in front of you. Erg Chebbi, Erg Chigaga and the Taboga Sand Dunes, the right areas! Erg Chebbi Often admired for its stark contrast of golden orange sands to the bright blue sky and its amazing sunsets and sunrises, Erg Chebbi is one of the best places to try sandboarding in Merzouga. Sandboarding is a must when visiting Erg Chebbi mostly because of how much fun it will be for you, especially if it`s your first time! Composed of stunning dunes, Erg Chigaga is considered to be more romantic and is a fan favorite among artists, painters, landscape photographers, and purists. Boasting an approximate area of 35km x 15km and dunes as high as 50m, it is one the largest ergs in Morocco and can be quite hard to access on your own. If you`re looking for a little adventure in the sand, sandboarding at Erg Chigaga is the perfect activity for you. Also, the Taboga dunes are located in Agadir, a major city in Morocco that borders the Atlantic Ocean and sits near the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. You will get to explore the soft desert sand that borders the sea, a unique experience even for seasoned paddlers-even more so for beginners!
