Discover the Enchanting Landscapes of Errachidia

As the sun rises over the majestic landscapes of Errachidia, the air is filled with the promise of adventure. The weather is perfect for exploring, with temperatures ranging from a comfortable 71.9°F to a warm 90.6°F, and the skies clearing up by mid-morning to reveal the stunning vistas of the Drâa-Tafilalet region. This is the ideal time to embark on a journey through the heart of Morocco’s desert landscapes, where every turn offers a new and breathtaking view.

Begin your adventure with the Luxury Desert Camp experience, where you’ll be whisked away in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to the charming town of Ifrane, often referred to as “Little Switzerland”. Here, the sloped roof houses and ski resorts create a picturesque setting that feels worlds away from the desert. As you continue your journey, you’ll pass through the cedar forests of Azrou, home to playful wild monkeys, and stop for a delicious Berber lunch in Midelt.

The journey continues through the lush Ziz Valley, where palm trees and fruit crops create a vibrant tapestry of colors. As you reach the oasis town of Erfoud, the anticipation builds for the next leg of your adventure. Upon arriving in Merzouga, you’ll switch to a 4x4 jeep and head to a premium desert camp. Here, the golden dunes stretch as far as the eye can see, inviting you to explore their beauty on a camel ride as the sun sets in a blaze of color.

Embrace the Magic of the Sahara

The magic of the Sahara Desert is best experienced under the starry night sky, where the silence is broken only by the gentle rustle of the wind across the dunes. As you settle into your luxury tent, the evening unfolds with a scrumptious dinner and traditional Berber entertainment. The night is yours to enjoy, whether you’re counting stars or simply soaking in the serene beauty of the desert.

The following morning, you’ll be awakened early to witness a sunrise that promises to be one of the most spectacular sights of your life. The first rays of light dance across the dunes, painting them in shades of gold and pink. After a hearty breakfast, the journey back to Fez begins, with stops in Merzouga and Rissani offering more opportunities to capture the beauty of the region.

For those seeking a more immersive experience, the Camel Ride & Desert Camp offers an unforgettable adventure. Starting in the late afternoon, this excursion takes you on a camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes, where you’ll witness a breathtaking sunset before arriving at a comfortable desert camp. Here, you’ll be treated to a delicious dinner and traditional Berber music, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

“The trip is very complete with several stops to take photos, the landscapes change throughout the trip. Everything is very well organized, luckily we had a small group of eight people. Nothing is expensive. Our driver Mehdi was very nice, friendly and spoke Spanish and French in addition to Arabic and English. He was very flexible and told us many anecdotes about the local culture. Mehdi drove very well and safely. I hope you get the same driver. Overall, very good experience!” (Reviewed at: 2024-04-19)
