3 Day Merzouga Desert Tour from Errachidia

Begin your adventure with a pick-up from your hotel or the airport in Errachidia. Travel south through rocky plateaus and desert landscapes until the golden dunes of Merzouga rise before you. In the late afternoon, set off on a camel ride across the sweeping Erg Chebbi dunes, reaching your desert camp just in time for a breathtaking sunset. Spend the evening under a starlit sky, enjoying a traditional Berber dinner and live desert music.

Wake early to witness the magic of a Sahara sunrise. After breakfast, explore the unique culture and landscapes of the desert. Visit nomadic families and share mint tea in their tents, listen to the rhythms of traditional Gnawa music in Khamlia village, stroll through serene palm groves, explore an ancient kohl (eyeliner) mine, and spot wildlife near the seasonal desert lake. Return to your camp for another peaceful night in the Sahara.

After breakfast, leave the dunes behind and visit Rissani, home to a lively souk that has been a key trading hub for centuries. Continue to Erfoud to explore its famous fossil workshops, then drive through the scenic Ziz Valley with its lush palm oases before arriving back in Errachidia, marking the end of your desert journey.
