Seems like a fairly easy walk to me. Uncomfortable and a bit long (roughly one day), certainly, but less-so than a dozen days in the desert.
- ChainOfFools 5y agothis part of Morocco is not particularly harsh, either. it's the hardpack, pebble strewn surface called "reg" not the sandy, treeless desert that doesn't really exist in Morocco except in a rather narrow band along the Algerian border. I agree this was likely a preconceived stunt because locals walk that distance, in much more rugged conditions,, all the time without making a big deal about it.
