In short, while there were some enjoyable elements such as the camel rides and the beautiful desert scenery, many things that were promised in the itinerary was not delivered, or we were asked for more money to top up. Transport was not as promised: It was boiling hot at over 40 degrees and there was no air conditioning despite many asking for it to be turned on. On the way out of the desert, I was also separated from others who were also heading to the same direction, the guide citing I was provided with a “private transport”. It turned out to be a taxi (also no A/C) where the driver picked up and dropped off additional passengers along the way. Lack of communication: We didn’t have any guide, only a driver who didn’t speak much English. He didn’t speak much at all in fact - he did not explain our itinerary, so no one had any idea where we were going next, or when we stopped for a photo, where we were or what the attraction was. Dishonest guide: When we were dropped at Ait Ben Haddou, we had the expectation that entry fee into the castle is 30dhs. The guide said no, we had to pay 50dhs because 30dhs was only to see the exterior (?!). I found out later that other travellers entering the same castle only paid 30dhs. Accommodation varied: On the first day, the hotel staff claimed A/C was not working so we slept in the heat again. On the second day, we were taken to a hotel to drop off our bigger bags and luggage. The guide claimed that my hotel was not the same as the others but 20km away, and I had to top up 150dhs to have my luggage stored in the same hotel as the rest, while another family was forced to pay 1200dhs for the same reason. We all booked the same tour, and we were not staying overnight at the hotel, there was no reason why we should pay more just to store our bags at the same drop off point as the rest. Also, to be aware that despite citing that dinner is included on the itinerary, any sort of liquid (water, juices, etc) is not included and we had to pay extra.
