We will pick you up upon your arrival at Errachidia airport or from your hotel, and begin the journey south through the stunning Ziz Valley, known for its vast palm groves and traditional mud-brick villages.

We’ll make scenic stops to take photos and visit a local kasbah. The journey continues to Erfoud, a town famous for its fossil workshops and fossilized marble factories. We then arrive in Merzouga, where you’ll receive a warm welcome at a traditional riad overlooking the dunes.

In the afternoon, the highlight of your trip begins: a camel trek through the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi to reach a Berber desert camp nestled in the heart of the Sahara.
