Please note that Morocco is a developing country and as such the infrastructure is not as reliable as you would expect at home. Expect quirky plumbing and the odd cold shower.
This itinerary includes one night at a developed desert camp that includes a restaurant, toilet facilities, and simple showers, and two nights (days 2-3) at a simple camp with pop-up tents and portable toilets. There will be no access to showers on these days.
