Located at the edge of the Sahara Desert, Kanz Erremal is the perfect base for exploring the landscapes of southern Morocco.

Even with a short stay, there are several fascinating excursions you can enjoy in one or two days.

Half-day excursions

Erg Chebbi dunes at sunrise or sunset

The dunes of Erg Chebbi rise directly in front of the hotel and are among the most spectacular in Morocco.

A camel ride or a short walk in the sand at sunrise or sunset allows visitors to experience the magical colours of the desert.

The traditional market of Rissani

About 40 minutes away lies the historic town of Rissani, once a key stop on ancient Saharan caravan routes.

Its market remains one of the most authentic in the region, filled with spices, dates and traditional crafts.

Merzouga palm grove

Near the hotel, the palm groves of Merzouga show how life adapts to desert conditions. Small cultivated plots benefit from water channels that originate from the dunes.

Full-day excursions

4x4 tour around Erg Chebbi

A 4x4 excursion around Erg Chebbi reveals very different desert landscapes: stone deserts, nomadic settlements, small oasis and spectacular panoramic viewpoints.

Fossils of Erfoud

The nearby town of Erfoud is famous for its fossil deposits. Millions of years ago this region was under the sea, and today many workshops display fossils such as trilobites and orthoceras.

Hidden desert oasis

Some routes lead to remote oasis where Berber nomads still live. These landscapes offer a quieter and more authentic perspective of the Sahara.

A perfect starting point for exploring the desert

Thanks to its location facing the dunes, Kanz Erremal is an ideal starting point to discover the Sahara.

Whether you choose a camel ride at sunset, a cultural visit to traditional markets or a journey through oasis landscapes, each excursion offers a unique view of Morocco’s desert region.
