Overview

Discover the Sahara on a private 3-day journey from Errachidia to Merzouga, designed for travellers who want more than a simple transfer to the desert. Travel through the palm-filled Ziz Valley and historic Rissani before reaching the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.

Experience a sunset camel trek, spend two nights in the Merzouga area, watch sunrise over the dunes, visit Khamlia village and discover its Gnawa musical heritage, and enjoy time to explore the desert landscapes at a relaxed pace.

Because this is a private tour, the vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group and stops can be adapted when possible. With private air-conditioned transport, direct pickup from Errachidia or Moulay Ali Cherif Airport, and an English-, French-, and Arabic-speaking driver, the experience combines desert scenery, local culture, and comfortable transport in one complete Sahara journey.
