Suitable for travelers in general good health; most walking is short and not strenuous but you should be comfortable mounting a camel and handling uneven terrain.
Expect multiple long driving stretches—several legs of 3–6 hours—broken by guided stops at gorges, kasbahs and markets; the itinerary is paced to minimize continuous time in the vehicle.
No technical skill is required; camels are led by handlers, and the saddle is stable—however mounting can feel awkward, so let guides assist if you have mobility concerns.
This tour uses a luxury desert camp in Merzouga with private tents and ensuite facilities; camps typically include dinner, breakfast and evening music by the fire.
