Moderate — able to sit through multi-hour drives, walk on loose sand and climb short steep dune sections
The camel ride from the edge of Erg Chebbi to the camp is typically 1–2 hours, depending on camel pace and dune location.
Two dinners and two breakfasts are listed as included; lunches and some drinks are usually not included, so plan extra cash for market stops and restaurants.
The standard package places travelers in a communal Berber-style desert camp in shared tents; private options may be available on request for an extra fee.
Children can join but the trip recommends at least moderate fitness; camel rides and long driving days may be tiring for very young kids.
The route traces trans-Saharan trade and Amazigh settlement patterns; Ait Ben Haddou is a fortified ksar that grew wealthy on caravan commerce and later served as a film backdrop.
Stick to marked tracks and avoid driving on dunes; local operators support low-impact camping practices and responsible water use to protect fragile desert ecosystems.
