Merzouga Desert Extension

Many visitors use the Ziz Valley as the natural prelude to a Sahara journey. From Errachidia, the route descends through the valley toward Erfoud and Rissani before continuing to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes. Organized two-day desert tours from Errachidia commonly include Ziz Valley viewpoints, Erfoud, Rissani, camel riding and an overnight desert camp, with one researched operator listing prices from about €140 per person. This extension is not strictly inside the valley, but it is one of the most common ways travelers experience the landscape, linking palm-oasis life with the open dunes of the southeast.
