Itinerary
Day 1: Errachidia – Ziz Valley – Erfoud – Merzouga Desert
Your 2-Day Sahara Desert tour from Errachidia begins with a morning pickup from your hotel or the airport in Errachidia. The scenic drive heads southeast through the stunning Ziz Valley, a lush oasis formed by Morocco's remarkable date palm groves. Along the way you will pass traditional Berber villages, dramatic landscapes, and panoramic viewpoints — perfect for photos and soaking up the essence of southeastern Morocco. Continue to Erfoud, a historic desert town known for its fossil workshops and Saharan heritage, before reaching Merzouga, the gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes — the most famous sand dunes in Morocco. Upon arrival, prepare for your camel trek into the Sahara, riding across golden sand toward your desert camp as the sun sets in vibrant colors over the horizon. Feel the silence of the desert and enjoy a traditional Berber dinner around the fire, surrounded by endless dunes and a sky full of stars.
Day 2: Merzouga Sunrise – Camel Ride – Rissani – Return to Errachidia
Wake early to witness the spectacular sunrise over the Sahara Desert, as light slowly paints the towering Erg Chebbi dunes in shades of gold and orange. After breakfast in camp, you will ride your camel back to the edge of the dunes or transfer by 4×4 if you prefer. On your journey back to Errachidia, stop in Rissani, a historic trading town and former caravan crossroads. Here you can explore the traditional souk, see authentic local life, and take photos among the colorful stalls and camel transports. Then continue through the Ziz Valley and along panoramic desert landscapes, with optional stops for photos and refreshments. In the afternoon, arrive back in Errachidia.
