Destination
Errachidia
Gateway to the Ziz Valley and the fastest private-tour access to Erg Chebbi.
Errachidia does not pretend to be a medina destination. It is a hub: airport, Ziz palmeraie, road to Erfoud and Merzouga. If your goal is the dunes, starting here is the most elegant choice in the country.
We collect you at the airport and can have you in camp for sunset.
When to visit Errachidia
Errachidia shares the desert climate of the south: warm, sunny days from October to April and cold nights in winter, with very hot summers. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for combining the Ziz Valley with nights in Erg Chebbi.
Getting to Errachidia
Moulay Ali Cherif airport has flights from Casablanca, which makes Errachidia the fastest way to reach the Sahara by air. From here, Merzouga is about two hours by road through Erfoud, following the palm groves of the Ziz Valley. The viewpoint above the Ziz gorges north of the city is a spectacular stop. Many guests land in the morning and are riding a camel into the dunes by sunset.
