From Errachidia airport to the dunes of Erg Chebbi in two hours: palm groves, fossils, a camel ride and a night in the desert.
Errachidia is the closest airport to the Sahara of Merzouga. We pick you up at the airport or your hotel and follow the Ziz valley, one of the greenest oases of the south.
After Erfoud and Rissani you reach the dunes in the afternoon, ride a camel to the camp and wake up for the sunrise.
Errachidia airport is only about two hours from the dunes, which makes this the easiest way to reach the Sahara by plane. You can fly in from Casablanca, sleep in the desert and fly out the next day.
Even with only two days you have a full afternoon in Merzouga, a camel ride at sunset and a night in a camp among the dunes.
Pick-up, the Ziz valley viewpoint, the fossil workshops of Erfoud and the market of Rissani. Camel ride at sunset and night in the camp.
From Errachidia the road follows the Ziz river south, a green valley of palm trees and old fortified villages called ksour, with a viewpoint over the Source Bleue of Meski. After Erfoud and Rissani, the dunes of Erg Chebbi rise on the horizon and you arrive in Merzouga.
Sunrise over Erg Chebbi, breakfast and the drive back to Errachidia.
Get up early for the sunrise over the dunes, then breakfast and a shower before the drive back north through Rissani, Erfoud and the Ziz valley to Errachidia, where we leave you at your hotel or the airport.
