3 days.
Light to moderate fitness for short hikes, camel riding and handling long vehicle transfers; comfortable walking on sand is helpful.
Expect approximately 8–10 hours of driving spread over the first two days with several cultural and scenic stops en route.
Camel rides are suitable for most people; guides provide basic instructions and the pace is slow—mounting and dismounting can feel awkward but is assisted.
Warm layers, a fleece or insulated jacket, and closed shoes—temperatures can drop sharply after sunset even in summer.
Yes—this private tour accommodates a wide range of ages, but check with the operator about infant seats and maximum child ages for camel trekking.
The route follows historic caravan corridors; Aït Benhaddou and regional kasbahs grew wealthy from trans-Saharan trade in salt, gold and textiles.
Erg Chebbi’s dunes are fragile—stick to established camel and walking routes, conserve water, and avoid leaving waste in camps.
