The Grand Erg Occidental (Template:Lang-ar, al-ʿIrq al-Gharbī al-Kabīr), (also known as the Western Sand Sea) is the second largest erg in northern Algeria, behind the Grand Erg Oriental. This true desert region receives less than 25 cm (10 in) of rainfall per year.[1] It contains no human villages and there are no roads through it.[2]
