The journey from Sidi Ali to Merzouga passes through the valley of the Dra River. You will ride in the valley between two mountain ranges to Erg Shebbi, the dunes of Merzouga, which are among the most popular with travellers, riders and offroaders. But unlike most travellers, you'll get there from the south, not the north.

The ride to Errachidia will take you through picturesque mountainous areas and valleys. On this part of the raid you will see:

- Ancient desert wells and the underground city of Spirale D'Or: Between Merzouga and Errachidia you can find ancient structures that give an insight into how people survived in this harsh environment.
- In addition to ancient people, we will also find modern art objects. In the middle of the Marha Plateau, halfway to Rashidia, we will find the ‘stairway to heaven’ - a sculpture complex by artist Hansjorg Voths, built in the 80s of the last century.
