Itinerary
1Day 1: Errachidia to Merzouga – Gateway to the Dunes
Begin your journey in Errachidia, a city known for its beautiful palm groves and as a starting point for Sahara expeditions. Travel from Errachidia to Merzouga, a small village that lies at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes, some of the most spectacular in the Sahara.
Upon arrival in Merzouga, embrace the serene beauty of the desert. Prepare for a camel trek in the late afternoon, a quintessential Sahara experience. Ride through the dunes as the sun sets, casting a golden hue over the sand. Arrive at a traditional Berber camp where you’ll spend the night. Enjoy a dinner under the stars, accompanied by local music, and marvel at the vastness of the desert sky.
2Day 2: Explore Merzouga and the Sahara Dunes
Wake up early to witness the sunrise over the dunes – a moment of unparalleled beauty and tranquility. After breakfast, explore the surroundings of Merzouga. Visit the village of Khamlia, known for its Gnawa music, a unique form of rhythmic music that has its roots in West Africa.
Alternatively, embark on a 4×4 adventure in the desert to visit nomadic families and learn about their way of life. Explore the desert’s flora and fauna, and discover the hidden treasures of the Sahara. Spend another night in the desert camp, perhaps trying sandboarding or simply relaxing and taking in the peaceful desert atmosphere.
3Day 3: Merzouga to Errachidia – Return Journey
On your final day, enjoy one last look at the magnificent dunes after sunrise. After breakfast, begin your journey back to Errachidia. This drive allows you to reflect on the extraordinary experiences of the past few days, from the vibrant life of the desert to the serene beauty of the Sahara.

We chose the option of 4 days and 3 nights. The experience has been fantastic, especially for the unbeatable attention of our guide, Ali, and all the people who attended us in the haimas of Merzouga. Even Brahim’s management for booking and payment was excellent. Tamlalt Tours, highly recommended.

Tamlalt Tours has organized an 8-day route through Morocco for us and we loved it. Both my wife and my two children, ages 10 and 8, had a great time. Camel rides and nights in the desert, a real family adventure.

We came from Taiwan. We are so lucky to choose Tamlalt Tours. Our driver Hassan helped us in everything. He took us everywhere we wanted to go. I’d recommend this company to anyone travelling to Morocco.

We came all the way from Mexico, and would love to do it again! Ali drove us from Marrakech to the desert, making several stops, visiting amazing little towns and beautiful sceneries like the Dades Gorges and Ait Benhaddou. The camp was perfect: we had dinner, we danced, sang and watched the stars.
