Suitable for most fitness levels; participants should be able to mount a camel and walk short distances.
The tour meets in Errachidia (pickup from airport or hotel possible) and returns to Errachidia at the end of day two.
Camel trekking to the dunes for sunset typically lasts 45–90 minutes depending on the pace and chosen route.
Accommodation is in a desert camp with individual or shared tents; most include dinner and breakfast—confirm bedding and privacy options when booking.
