The itinerary notes it’s physically easy and infants can join, but camel mounts and uneven terrain in gorges make it less suitable for people with significant mobility limits.
Kasbahs like Aït Ben Haddou trace a history of caravan trade and mud-brick architecture used for defense and climate moderation; Ouarzazate later grew into a film production hub.
