this 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.
