3 days.
Suitable for travelers in average physical condition; able to manage short walks, a 90-minute camel ride, and multi-hour vehicle transfers.
Yes — the itinerary includes approximately a 1.5-hour camel trek from Merzouga to the desert camp, timed to catch sunset.
Accommodations combine local hotels and overnight desert camps; hotels in towns are private rooms while desert camps are traditionally simple tents with dinner provided.
The operator notes accessibility for many travelers, but desert camps and dune walks are rustic; contact the provider ahead to arrange transfers or special assistance.
Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures; winter evenings can be cold and summer daytime heat can be intense.
The route follows old caravan roads; Aït Ben Haddou is a fortified ksar and UNESCO site reflecting earthen architecture and historical trade links between Sahara and Marrakech.
Erg Chebbi and surrounding valleys have fragile soils and sparse vegetation — avoid driving on dune faces, pack out waste, and support local cooperatives to help sustain communities.
