48 hours.
Suitable for most travelers in reasonable health; you should be able to mount a camel, walk on loose sand, and manage multi‑hour vehicle transfers.
Pickup is in Fez (hotels or riads) early morning; the trip returns to Fez on day two after breakfast and the drive back through the Middle Atlas.
The 90‑minute camel ride is low intensity but bumpy; you should be able to mount/dismount with minimal assistance and tolerate sitting for about an hour and a half.
Yes — the tour includes dinner and breakfast at a traditional Berber encampment and transport in an air‑conditioned vehicle.
The operator lists accessibility for infants and some wheelchair access for transport, but dune walking and camel mounting require moderate mobility; check with the provider about specific needs.
This route traces historic caravan corridors between Saharan oases and northern cities, and towns like Ifrane reflect French colonial planning from the 1930s.
