Itinerary

DAY 1

ERRACHIDIA – ZIZ VALLEY – ERFOUD – MERZOUGA

This 3-day desert tour from Errachidia usually begins at Errachidia Airport (ERH), although we can also pick you up from any other agreed location. Our driver will meet you in a comfortable private vehicle and we will begin our journey towards the desert, passing through the spectacular Ziz Valley. Along the way, we will make an interesting stop in Erfoud. This small town is well known for its rich paleontological heritage, including fossil remains of prehistoric animals and even dinosaurs. This is also one of the main attractions of the local shops, where fossils, minerals and other treasures extracted from the surrounding area are displayed and sold. We then continue our journey towards Merzouga, the final destination of this first stage. Upon arrival, you will enjoy dinner and spend the night in a traditional kasbah-style hotel, offering all the comforts you need in a warm and welcoming Berber-inspired atmosphere.

DAY 2

MERZOUGA – KHAMLIA – VISIT TO NOMADS – ERG CHEBBI

After breakfast at the kasbah hotel, we will head to a small village called Khamlia, known for its population of sub-Saharan origin and its traditional Gnawa music. Many of the inhabitants are descendants of people who came from sub-Saharan Africa and brought their traditional rhythms with them, contributing to the development of Gnawa music, a musical tradition recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Here, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a live Gnawa music performance and experience its distinctive rhythms and atmosphere. During the day, we will also have the opportunity to meet a nomadic family from the desert, who continue to preserve many of their traditional customs and way of life while adapting to some aspects of modern life. Meeting them and learning about their daily life in the Sahara will be a truly rewarding and enriching experience. Between these visits, we will explore some of the more remote areas of the desert by 4×4, passing old mining areas and former French settlements. We will also experience some of the tracks associated with the legendary Paris-Dakar Rally, which once crossed this region. Along the way, we will stop at a spectacular panoramic viewpoint where you can admire the vast expanse of the Erg Chebbi dunes. But on this day, we will not only admire the dunes from a distance. We will also enter the heart of the desert on the backs of dromedaries, crossing the golden sand dunes and making our way towards the desert camp. Upon arrival at the camp, you will enjoy a traditional dinner and spend the night beneath a spectacular sky filled with stars.

DAY 3

ERG CHEBBI DUNES – ERRACHIDIA

Waking up early to watch the sunrise over the dunes is the perfect way to begin the final day of this adventure. The first light of the new day has a special charm here. Watching the first rays of sunlight appear over the horizon and gradually illuminate the surrounding golden sands creates an unforgettable spectacle. After this magical moment, we will enjoy breakfast at the desert camp and then return to Merzouga by dromedary, where our vehicle will be waiting for us. From Merzouga, we will begin the return journey to Errachidia, enjoying the landscapes of southeastern Morocco along the way. Our services will end at Errachidia Airport or at any other agreed location, with the hope of welcoming you again in the future for another unforgettable Moroccan tour or desert adventure.
