Palmeraie Camel Ride

What to expect

On arrival, your guide introduces you to your camel and the handlers who will lead the ride. You'll be fitted with a cheich; wrap it loosely around your head and neck to protect against sun and dust. Your guide will show you how to mount and explain the camel's movement before you set off.

Features

• The camel ride: The route follows quiet tracks through the palm groves, passing orange trees, Berber smallholdings, and open desert patches. Camels walk at a slow, rocking pace; expect a gentle sway that settles after the first few minutes. Your handler walks alongside throughout. The full riding portion lasts approximately one hour, with photo stops along the way.

• Tea break at the Berber encampment: Midway through the tour, you'll stop at a traditional nomadic area for a glass of fresh Moroccan mint tea, served hot, sweet, and traditionally poured from height. This is a natural pause to rest, take in the setting, and chat with your guide.

• Return to Marrakesh: After the ride, your driver takes you back to your hotel or a central drop-off point in Marrakesh.
