overnight in the zagoura desert 1n/2 days

This was a nightmare experience for myself and my mother. We were so disappointed after having looked forward to this tour for months. I share to save other travels the frustration, discomfort and safety hazard that this tour brings. After being put on the wrong bus for the first 4 hours - we were taken off at one of the stops and left there for 25 minutes in the blazing midday sun with no explanation from the driver or the whatsapp contact. Later a new driver came and was grumpy with us for holding up his group. At Ait Ben Haddou I asked the tour guide if we could have lunch before the walking tour because we were hungry (it was 1pm and we left Marrakesh at 730am with no break gays stop) and he scolded me with extreme language telling me that I am a terrible person with bad energy who will “get what is coming for her”. He was a big tall man and I was very afraid during and after his outburst. No one did anything except for the other guests who consoled me and defended me. At the desert camp the people were kinder but unfortunately unprepared for our arrival. The dinner was served after 10pm - very late for myself so I missed it. Breakfast was not served which made for a hungry uncomfortable drive back. I would have brought food if I had know but the tour was not delivered as advertised. On the way back to Marrakesh on day 2 the driver didn’t tell us when we would stop of where we could buy food. It felt like we were trapped on the bus. We finally stopped for lunch until 2pm and arrived back to Marrakesh at 5pm. Very little care or consideration went into the planning or this tour. The company didn’t care about any of these issues - and when I asked a simple question I was berated. As a woman in a foreign country you will not feel safe on this tour. Try another operator or avoid completely. It’s really not worth the drive or the way you may be treated to meet the camels 😔😬
