Is this suitable for beginners?

our guide Tariq was nice enough, but the last scramble to the summit felt a bit rushed honestly. First thing in the morning. Not as good as the one we did in athens tbh. Bit disappointed ngl, would only really suit you if youre not fussy, about 9km round trip.

our guide Ana couldnt do enough for us and the ridge viewpoint at the top was the highlight, and mid-week so it was quiet, 10/10

Is okay only. a clearing where we stopped for lunch was nice but feel rush, and Samir the guide hard to hear sometimes. The hike in Marrakech was more better.
