The camel ride is part of the desert transfer to the bivouac and is included; participants who prefer may walk short stretches or ride in a support vehicle when available.
Pickup and drop-off are provided from central Marrakech hotels as part of the tour; specific pickup points are confirmed after booking.
Bring a small overnight bag for the bivouac; larger suitcases should remain in the vehicle for safety and comfort.
