Our private Errachidia To Merzouga Tour offers an immersive Moroccan experience. Two days is the unhurried way to do the dunes. Our Errachidia to Merzouga tour is a private 2-day desert escape from Errachidia through the dramatic Ziz Gorge and palm-deep Ziz Oasis to the golden sand of Erg Chebbi.
The first afternoon ends with a camel trek into the dunes and a night at a Berber camp we know near Merzouga — a tagine cooked over coals, drumming after dark, and stars right down to the horizon. You wake for the sunrise over the sand, then have the second day to slow down: a 4×4 loop past the Gnawa village of Khamlia, nomad tents on the hammada, and the black fossil beds before the drive home.
Short on time? The single-day Merzouga tour from Errachidia still gets you to the dunes for sunset.
Our private Errachidia To Merzouga Tour offers an immersive Moroccan experience. This 2 days errachidia merzouga route covers a remarkable amount of southern Morocco in 2 days, 1 night.

Pickup at 9:00 AM from your Errachidia hotel or the airport. We drive south into the red-rock Ziz Gorge, cut by the river, with photo stops at the viewpoints, then into the Ziz Oasis — over a million date palms running some 70 km down the valley. We stop at Erfoud, the fossil town, and the Rissani souk, birthplace of the Alaouite dynasty, for spices and Saharan crafts.
You reach Merzouga by mid-afternoon and ride camels into the Erg Chebbi dunes for sunset, to a Berber camp run by people we know — tagine, drums, and stars.
Accommodation: desert camp at Erg Chebbi (half board).
The sunrise from the tallest dune, breakfast, camels back. We can stop at Khamlia, the Gnawa village whose people came up from sub-Saharan Africa and kept their own music, before driving north up the Ziz Valley to Errachidia by about 3:00 PM — or onward to Marrakech, Fes, or Ouarzazate.
