Motorcycle Adventure in the Sahara Desert
The thrilling challenge of riding into the dunes of Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga: tire pressures, sand techniques, navigation, and bivouac life.
Erg Chebbi vs Erg Chigaga
Comparing the towering accessible dunes of Merzouga with the remote, track-only wilderness of M'Hamid and Erg Chigaga.
Sand Riding Fundamentals
Standing up on the pegs, keeping weight back, looking far ahead, and maintaining steady throttle momentum through fesh-fesh and loose sand.
Tire Pressures & Equipment
Dropping pressures to 1.2-1.4 bar for flotation on sand tracks, and why heavy luggage belongs in the 4x4 support vehicle.
Desert Navigation & GPS
Using compass bearings, offline satellite mapping, and relying on local guides who know shifting dune tracks and dry riverbeds (oueds).
The Desert Bivouac Experience
Sleeping in traditional nomad wool tents, dining on wood-fired tagines, and gazing at millions of stars in total silence.
