PROS: Very fun excursion from Marrakech. We really enjoyed the camel ride and the quad ride. The food and show were good. The hookah was nice.
CONS: They don’t accept card, so take plenty of cash as the drinks were a bit expensive. 80 dirhams (8 euros) for a small bottle of Casablanca beer. However, they did have cheaper beer for 60 dirhams (6 euros). The non-alcoholic drinks such as Coca Cola were about 25 dirhams (2.5 euros).
Also, we didn’t love that we were separated during the quad ride. It seemed they separated the men from the women and children, as if the women/children were not able to ride the quads as well as the men. I grew up riding quads so I was a bit insulted as a woman and sad to be separated from my partner. Since we wanted to ride next to each other and laugh together during the ride. We did meet at the stopping point for pictures, but then were separated again on the ride back. We understand the logic behind the decision, but would definitely have preferred to stay together.
As for the drive back to Marrakech, the driver was very angry and frustrated, which unfortunately made us extremely uncomfortable and a bit scared. Perhaps he was just tired. He seemed to be experiencing some road rage and frequently yelled at other drivers and at one point pulled up closely to another car to yell at the driver in Arabic. The other driver tried to ignore him for several minutes, which made our driver seem a bit belligerent to be honest. We found it to be a bit unprofessional. We understand the driving in Marrakech is quite chaotic so we were quiet and patient, but we did have several other drivers throughout our time in Morocco and none of them behaved that way. So it did come as an unpleasant surprise.
But besides that, we had a really great time and would definitely recommend the experience to others. We think the important thing here is to be understanding of the cultural differences, forgiving of the minor hiccups, and you are sure to have a great time. So thank you very much to the company for offering us this unique and fun experience. We will never forget it.
