FAQ

Good to know

How many days do I need for a Sahara tour?

A minimum of 3 days from Marrakech or Fes. Four or more days allows a much more comfortable pace.

Is the camel ride suitable for everyone?

Rides are usually short (around an hour) and gentle. If a camel ride isn't right for you, we can arrange a 4x4 transfer to camp.
