Tours from Errachidia

Errachidia has the closest airport to Merzouga, making it the fastest way to reach the Sahara Desert for travelers who don't want the longer drive from Marrakech, Fes or Casablanca.

Errachidia doesn’t have much in the way of standalone tourist sights, but its airport is the closest to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes, which makes it a practical departure point for travelers who want to reach the Sahara Desert as directly as possible.

Our standard route from Errachidia follows the Ziz Valley — a scenic stretch of palm groves and kasbah villages in its own right — to Merzouga, where a camel trek leads into the dunes for an overnight desert camp before the return the next day.

Travelers with more time can also use this route as one leg of a longer trip, connecting onward to Fes or Marrakech rather than returning to Errachidia.
