It should be said that you are only going to stay in the first sand dune of the desert rather that in the desert. Get a life insurance, incredibly dangerous roads and drivers. Apart from that, lovely experience, nice scenary, nice people...

You definitely need to make VERY CLEAR that it takes 10 hours to get from Marrakech to the site where you start riding the camels. No one in my tour knew that the drive was that long and we were very unprepared.

We were charged an additional fee when we arrived at the offices. There was no English speaking tour guide as promised. The driver was rude and refused to stop at any locations on our return journey. We are disappointed by the experience and hostelworld.com. I would advise you take this company off your books.
