Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Errachidia to Merzouga Desert
The drivefrom Errachidia to Merzouga takes us through the stunning Ziz Valley. We’re talking about a river oasis cutting through otherwise arid landscape – it’s quite a sight. Our drivers know exactly where to stop for the best photos, and we encourage plenty of breaks. This isn’t a race.
Once we reach Merzouga village, the real adventure begins. You’ll meet your camel (they’re surprisingly gentle creatures) and head into the Erg Chebbi dunes. The trek to camp takes about an hour, giving you time to find your desert legs.
Sunset from the high dunes is something else entirely. We position ourselves perfectly to catch the light show, and trust me, your phone camera won’t do it justice. After dark, you’ll experience the Merzouiga desert camp – traditional Berber tents, local cuisine, and often some impromptu music around the fire
Day 2: Sunrise & Return
Here’s a pro tip from us: wake up early for sunrise. Yes, it means getting up before dawn, but watching the dunes come alive with the first light is worth losing an hour of sleep. The colors shift from deep purple to gold in minutes.
The camel ride back to Merzouga village feels different in morning light. Everything’s cooler, quieter, and you’ll probably spot some desert wildlife if you’re lucky. After breakfast at a local restaurant, we begin the journey back to Errachidia.
We usually arrive back by early afternoon, giving you time to catch connecting flights or continue your Morocco adventure.

Practical Information
Desert essentials are surprisingly simple. Bring layers – it gets cold at night, even in summer. A hat and sunglasses are non-negotiable. Comfortable walking shoes for around camp, plus something you don’t mind getting sandy for camel riding.
What to Bring
Don’t overpack. You’ll be carrying a small daypack during activities, and laundry facilities are limited. We provide blankets and basic toiletries at camp.
Best Time to Visit
Camera gear obviously, but bring extra batteries. The cold nights drain them faster than expected.
Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer perfect weather – warm days, cool nights, minimal wind. Summer is challenging due to heat, though the early morning and evening temperatures remain pleasant.
Winter brings surprisingly cold nights but gorgeous clear days. If you don’t mind bundling up after sunset, it’s actually quite beautiful.
We run tours year-round because each season offers something different. Just set expectations accordingly.
