Additional Information

Escape the bustling souks, streets and palaces of Marrakech, and climb on the back of a camel to ride through the beautiful Palmeraie on the outskirts of the city.

Although the real desert is too far from the city center, about 20 minutes drive away lies an oasis of manicured gardens, sweet-scented orange trees and palm groves that make ideal terrain for a spot of light camel riding.

A driver will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to meet the camel handlers and their trusty beasts. They will then guide you into the Palmeraie and on through authentic villas and green palm groves.

Discover how the locals live outside the city center. And end with a fresh mint tea.

Fantastic experience! - We booked the 7pm ride and it was fantastic! I was sceptical of how things would be, however, a car picked us up at 7pm outside our hotel (they send you a pic of the car so you know what to look out for). They then took us about 15 minutes to where the camels were where our guide greeted us and took us to put on our attire. We then met our camels. We thought we would be in a big group, however it was just the two of us! The man took us on a one hour camel ride. He stoped multiple times to take pictures of us and also did a video which is a great memory! We then returned on our camel and had a glass of mint tea before the driver then took us back to our hotel. Bargain and great experience for about £17 each!!!! All workers/staff were very friendly.

Flawless - I had a pleasant time with my guide Alibaba, he sang for me throughout the walk 😊 Moroccan tea at your service as well as Wifi, Khalid came to pick me up from the hotel rather than planned. I thank the whole team for this unforgettable memory.

One of the best experiences - The pick up driver wasn’t late and on time to pick us up, very pleasant and nice person to talk too also informative about what is around us, after arriving we were greeted by a very nice team of people, who got us dressed and gave us some very tasty mint tea, once we were on top of the camels, which were very calm, clean and looked to be taken good care of, our guide took us to our ride and was unexpectedly very enjoyable to be around, with singing, whistling, being entertaining and also being a camera man. After our ride, we were again greeted with some tea ( which was offered more once we finished the cups ) and were not instantly asked to leave or move on, which we appreciated a lot, because we had a moment to enjoy the view, smoke a cigarettes and have another chat with our guide. I very strongly recommend these guys for your camel rides, as I’m sure things can be arranged with them without any problems and hassle. Amazing experience

Very fun experience! - Would highly recommend this experience, on time pickup direct from hotel instructions via whatsapp, taken to palm grove and put on our traditional wear and then onto the camels, the man taking us around was very fun and offered to take many pictures of us in different parts of the area! The ride lasted about an hour which was perfect, we then got to try some moroccan tea and then dropped back to our hotel! It was very smooth and easy. Loved it!

Walk in the palm grove - The driver was TOP! Small group which makes the experience better. The guide during the walk was very kind Berber clothes during the walk immerse us in the universe The little tea at the end to finish well is perfect

Cheap ride in a back field of Marrakesh. Horrible treatment of camels - We wanted to ride a camel for the experience but seeing how these camels are treated we would never do it again. The camels are tied so tight to each other, their heads reach to the next persons legs. The camels are unable to move about freely, are whipped and beaten and tied tightly back to a tree upon return. There was a young camel, about 7 days old and the men kept beating it back and all it wanted was to walk beside its mother. We walked for about an hour in a trash ridden, dirty old back field of Marrakesh, never again.
