Morocco: Desert Tour or Chefchaouen?

My tour spent less than a day in Chefchaouen, at a pace too fast for many photos. Gorgeous, definitely one of the prettiest on my 2-week tour. The desert gets really cold at night and it's not all that warm during the day. Expect to be pretty cold on a sunset trek, especially on the way back. brrrrr. Sleeping in tents or buildings? My tour (October) included a sunset trek, it really wasn't special and the camels were mean.

Here's detailed weather for February for Arfoud, one of the towns on the edge of the desert. You can find daily weather conditions for most cities for any month for the past 10 years. I looked at last year - highs ranged from lo 50's to mid 70's, lows went to lo 40's.

Thank you.

It says in tents for the desert stay. Bathrooms building block within the camp.
I watched a few YouTube videos on the camel trekking and I don’t think this is for us.
I also found out it’s 90 minutes in and then 90 minutes out on the camels.

Our Morocco tour included a camel ride evening, but not an overnight. I was dubious about doing the ride; and, in fact, I really hated it. 90 minutes sounds about right. 90 minutes of rather scary torture.
Camels have a peculiar gait. They kind of lumber from side to side. I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I might fall off, despite the tour leader’s reassurances.
Our tour didn’t go to Chefchaouen; but given almost any alternative to the ride, that’s what I’d opt for.

I've done the sunset camel / camp overnight twice, once in February and once in June. The overnight in February was pretty darn cold; we needed to wrap up in multiple blankets. There is something very magical about the experience of seeing the shadows on the sand, and I treasure the photos from each of those experiences, but I'm not sure if the experience was as amazing in the moment, if that makes sense. The camel ride itself was fine - not the most comfortable, but not terribly uncomfortable either.

One other consideration might be the amount of time in transit. The camel treks often require a long time in the car each direction - typically the better part of a day in transit on the way there and again on the way back. Chefchaouen is very picturesque as well, with lots of souvenir sellers in addition to the famous blue walls. I'm not a big photographer, but I did enjoy seeing the crowds of folks setting up the perfect shot.

Chani, were the camels mean to you first, or did you start it? Sometimes, they can sense hostility, or fear. I figure each camel probably has its own unique personality, and good and bad days, as do we all.
