Full description

Get ready to go on a sunset camel ride adventure. After a pickup from your Marrakech hotel or riad, head north to the Palmeraie, a picturesque palm grove on the fringes of the city, to meet your camel caravan.

Be shown to your camel and learn how these hardy desert animals have been used for transport in Morocco for centuries, thanks to their ability to travel long distances without water. After a safety briefing, wear your Nomad dress with the shesh (turban) and climb into the saddle on the back of a camel. Relax as you enjoy a 1-hour ride through lush palm trees. Take your camera out to snap some photos of the beautiful sunset as the sky changes colors through the palms trees. After your approximate 1-hour ride, be driven back to your hotel where your experience ends.

Lahcen was a great guide and he made it a very fun experience. He took care of us and we all felt safe during the trip. Our driver was on time and very informative. He told us about his lifestyle and the lifestyle of his family who are nomads. I don't remember his name but I do remeber he is a singer and had a lovely voice. It was very intersting to learn about all of this. He recommended a restaurant to us and dropped us off there at the end of the tour. The food was lovely too.
