Overall, the experience was magical! We saw so many incredible landscapes and historical sites on the way to the Sahara desert from Marrakech.
The camel ride, music, and food at our desert camp were all exceptional and highly memorable.
The one negative aspect of the entire experience was that the air conditioning system was broken the night that we stayed in the desert. Since our tour was in late June, this meant that we were subject to 90+ degree weather for most of the night. Safe to say, none of us slept, and we spent the majority of the night looking at the stars from the camp outdoor common areas trying to cool off. I suggest that if this was ever to occur again, the service provider equip its staff either with fans or create the optionality to stay in a different camp or Riad, especially during the summer.
Our driver and guide, Jamal, was truly exceptional. He provided us with plenty of information while also helping us with anything we needed during the trip. He was very attentive, frequently making water and bathroom stops, and choosing lunch stops with great food. We would highly recommend his services to anyone visiting Morocco!
