The province stretches across 60,000 square kilometers of eastern Morocco, containing numerous towns, from Erfoud to Rissani, amid desert landscapes and palm groves.

The province changed its name from Ksar es-Souk to Errachidia in 1975 to commemorate Moulay Rachid, the second son of King Hassan II of Morocco.

The province maintains strong Berber and Arab heritage through local crafts, traditional architecture using mud bricks, and weekly markets across its municipalities.

Travelers can access the province through the Moulay Ali Cherif Airport near Errachidia city, which connects to major Moroccan destinations including Casablanca.
