      Do you have names of the accomodations or photos of the possible accomodations?

    • TouaregTrailsOperator•Written January 2026

      Yes, we can absolutely arrange a twin room with two separate beds.

    • TouaregTrailsOperator•Written January 2026

      The hot air balloon ride can be added easily. It takes place at sunrise, one day before the tour starts. We'll note it in your booking, and you can pay on-site on the balloon day.

    • TouaregTrailsOperator•Written January 2026

      For accommodations, we work with good places depending on availability. In the Dades Valley, we usually use Ksar Sultan Dades or something similar, and in the Sahara Desert, Mirage Luxury Camp or a similar luxury camp.
