The Main places to Explore during your 3 Days trail from Errachidia to Erg Chebbi:
1: ZIZ VALLEY:
The Ziz Valley is one of Morocco’s most beautiful oases, lined with thousands of date palms and dotted with ancient kasbahs. The river winds through dramatic gorges and fertile farmland, offering breathtaking contrasts between the lush green valley floor and the surrounding arid mountains. It has been an important caravan route for centuries, linking the Sahara to the northern cities.
2: Erg Chebbi Dunes:
Erg Chebbi is a spectacular dune field located near the village of Merzouga in the southeastern Sahara Desert. Its dunes can reach heights of up to 150 meters and change color with the shifting light — from golden yellow at sunrise to deep orange at sunset.

It’s famous for its vibrant souk, especially on market days, where locals trade spices, textiles, crafts, and livestock. Rissani is also known for its delicious date varieties and as the birthplace of the Alaouite dynasty, Morocco’s current royal family.
4: Todra Canyon: ( The rock climbing destination )
The Todra Canyon or Todra Gorge is located near the town of Tinghir, Todra Gorge is a dramatic natural wonder carved by the Todra River over thousands of years. Its towering limestone cliffs, rising up to 300 meters, create a spectacular narrow canyon that attracts rock climbers from around the world. The gorge is also popular for hiking, photography, and enjoying the cool shade provided by the high cliffs — a refreshing escape in the warmer months.
5: Aitbanhddou Kasbah: ( The movie maker place )
Ait Benhaddou is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed ksar (fortified village) built from earthen clay and stone, located along the ancient caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. Its labyrinth of alleyways, defensive walls, and striking kasbahs have been preserved for centuries. Today, it’s famous as a film location, having appeared in movies and series such as Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones. Visitors can explore its winding paths, climb to the top for panoramic views, and imagine life in Morocco centuries ago.
