Can we stop for photos or sightseeing along the way?
Yes — stopping where you like is the whole point of a private car over the train or a shared shuttle.

We will quote that as a day tour instead.
Is it better to drive or take the train from Aït Ben Haddou to Merzouga?
No train of any use runs this way, so a private car — a 4x4 where the road turns rough and the climbs steepen — is the comfortable way to cross it, door to door, halting wherever the mountains earn a stop.
