Some young boys will drive along with their horses and encourage the tourists to make pictures. When they do so, they will claim money for it.
Unique Suggestions: Make your pictures of the beatifull surrounding and tell those boys that you are not interested at all. When a whole caravan of tourists tell this, they will start discussing a while, but then they go away as other tourists are entering the desert as well :-)

When you are on the dromedary or when you are arriving to take a break in the desert, some young boys will show up and offer you a coke of other drink:
1. Don't take the drink: if you have it in your hand, they will consider it sold to you;
2. If you are accepting the drink and the price thereof (can be as much as 10 Dinars =7Euro), make sure you pay the right price. If you pay to much, the boys will take the money and start running while you are sitting on the dromedary and can not go after them

Fun Alternatives: Buy a bottle of water or a coke in the Zafraane hotel.
