How long is the drive each day?

The tour involves long drives, typically around 7–8 hours on Day 1 and Day 3, but this is broken up with scenic stops along the way. On Day 2, the drive from Dades Gorges to Merzouga is shorter (about 4–5 hours), with a stop at Todra Gorge.

What should I wear on the tour?

Wear comfortable clothes for long drives, and layers are recommended, as temperatures can vary (hot during the day and cool in the evenings). In the desert, bring comfortable shoes for camel trekking and exploring the dunes. A hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses are also essential for sun protection.

Is the camel trek difficult?

The camel trek itself is not strenuous, but it can be uncomfortable for those not used to riding camels. It’s a leisurely ride, but you’ll be on the camel for about 1.5–2 hours at a time each way (including sunrise and sunset rides).
