hello out there,
back from morocco i would like to update one of my own statements:
"the best of erg chebbi is definitely the east side, which is readily accessible and lonely enough for wild camping in the surrounding dunes. only problem is that the big dunes are "locked" behind several hundred meters of small sand hills, so you can never get really close to the main erg."
in fact, i took a closer look and found that the belt of small dunes is not very wide in some places and that there is some good drivable small stones hidden between the small and the big dunes. here you can get closer to the big dunes and find perfect camping - as long as you find a place not occupied by the many "nomads" in the area.
another progress was obvious: the east side is getting busy with tourists very fast - so go there soon...
good luck to everyone
