Itinerary

Day 1:Errachidia – Ziz Valley – Erfoud – Rissani – Merzouga

Your 2 days tour from Errachidia with a pickup from your hotel or the airport. As you head south, the scenery quickly transforms into one of Morocco’s most picturesque regions.

Travel along the breathtaking Ziz Valley, where thousands of palm trees stretch across the oasis below dramatic cliffs. A panoramic stop allows you to admire the sweeping views and capture photos of this striking landscape shaped by the Ziz River.

Continuing toward Erfoud, you’ll discover a town renowned for its rich fossil deposits. Visit a local workshop to see how ancient marine fossils are carefully transformed into decorative pieces and works of art.

Next, arrive in Rissani, a historic desert town and former trading hub of the Tafilalet region. If your visit coincides with market days, you’ll experience the lively atmosphere of its traditional souk, filled with spices, dates, handcrafted goods, and local produce. This authentic market offers a fascinating glimpse into everyday desert life.

By late afternoon, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi rise dramatically on the horizon as you reach Merzouga. Here, your camels await for a peaceful trek into the heart of the Sahara. As you ride across the soft sands, the changing colors of the sunset create a magical scene across the dunes.

Upon arrival at your desert camp, you’ll be welcomed with mint tea and warm hospitality. After enjoying a traditional Moroccan dinner, gather around the campfire for Berber music under a sky illuminated by countless stars. Overnight in a comfortable private tent in the middle of the desert.

Day 2:Merzouga – Sunrise – Return to Errachidia

Wake early to witness one of the Sahara’s most unforgettable moments: the sunrise over the dunes. As the first light touches the sand, the desert glows in shades of gold and amber, creating a peaceful and almost surreal atmosphere that perfectly captures the magic of your 2 Days Errachidia Desert Trip.

After breakfast at the camp, return to Merzouga by camel or 4×4 vehicle, depending on your preference. From there, begin the scenic drive back to Errachidia, once again passing through the breathtaking landscapes of the Ziz Valley.

Along the way, enjoy short stops for photos and refreshments while taking in the final panoramic views of southern Morocco’s desert beauty. By the end of your 2 Days Errachidia Desert Trip, you’ll arrive back in Errachidia with unforgettable memories of camel treks, glowing sunsets, star-filled skies, and warm Saharan hospitality.
