The hosts were great. The people there were not the problem at all. The problem was I feel it is false advertising. The picture and the place that we stayed at DONT match at ALL. We stayed in an unbuilt house with no roof or AC. I just wish this was told to us beforehand otherwise I would not have gone. We ended up leaving early because it was too uncomfortable to bear. On top of that the ride there wasn't free (which is fine) but we weren't even told that until after.. and we didn't have cash on us. Just little stuff like that. Again hospitality was great but the location was not great.

It took me a day or two to adapt to the primitive conditions but once the week passed I didn't want to leave. Hassan, Ayoub and Abdul are such kind and welcoming souls and the other volunteers too. Such a great way to experience the moroccan culture especially as it was ramadan at the time. Don't miss the desert trip as it will blow your mind❤️

The moment in Hassan's house was amazing ! We were a lot of international volonteers, really fun. Hassan was with 3 friends, and they were really helpful and funny. A great experience to understand the berber life !

The proper desert experience. Husan always has his family and neighbours round allowing to meet people who live in the desert. The work is an enjoyable unique way of seeing how life is like here. What I would recommend though is to bring a fly squat
