The world's highest measured sand dunes are those in the Saharan sand sea of Isaouane-n-Tifernine in east-central Algeria. They have a wavelength of 5 km (3 miles) and attain a height of 465 m (1,526 ft). The Sahara is the largest desert in the world, but the whole region was fertile land until about 8,000 years ago

Perhaps not the highest, but the dunes within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore along Lake Michigan in Michigan reach heights over 400 feet.

But there are some very high dunes in Africa but maybe not actually classified as dunes.
