Day Trip Details

We will pick you up from your hotel in Merzouga at the scheduled time to start our journey to Rissani, the cradle of the Alaouite dynasty. The trip involves a drive of 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) through impressive landscapes.

Upon arrival, you will find the majestic Kasbah and the lively traditional city souk. Rissani is particularly vibrant on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays when the market is operational. These days provide an opportunity to shop and engage with the local culture, as the souk serves as a gathering place for surrounding villages.

We will explore this traditional souk, featuring a variety of products and crafts. From sheep to spices, this market reflects the daily life of Rissani's residents. You will also interact with locals to learn about their traditions.

Following our souk visit, there will be free time to eat before heading to Moulay Ali Cherif's Mausoleum, which holds cultural and religious importance. Here, we will examine the details of Moroccan architecture and its history.

After 6 hours, this private day trip will conclude back in Merzouga, providing an authentic Moroccan cultural experience.
