Yes, it’s suitable for most ages. However, long drives and the camel ride might be tiring for very young children or people with mobility issues. A 4x4 transfer to the camp can be arranged instead of camels upon request.
Absolutely! The itinerary can be done in reverse — starting from Marrakech and ending in Fes — with the same highlights and experiences.
