Errachidia is bordered by Algeria to the southeast and by the Moroccan provinces of Figig to the northeast, Midelt to the north, Tinghir to the west, and Zagura to the southwest. It is considered to be one of the most historically important regions of Morocco.
Errachidia, whose former name is Ksar Souk and Imetɣaren in the Berber language, was named Rachid, in tribute to one of the main founders of the Alaouite dynasty, the current Moroccan royal family.
