## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- Merzouga camps are in Erg Chebbi at the western edge of the Sahara, not the deep Sahara; most are a short camel ride from the road.
- Where a listing states it, a luxury or deluxe camp tent has an en-suite bathroom and a standard tent shares bathrooms.
- Lunches are not included on 3-day Fes to Marrakech desert tours; breakfasts and dinners on both nights are.
