Marrakech Camel Ride Tour - Palmeraie
About this experience
A camel ride through the Marrakech Palmeraie is the gentlest way to see the landscape just beyond the city walls, and the easiest activity to fit into a short stay. You ride traditional dromedaries along sandy paths between the palms, led on foot by local handlers who look after the animals daily. Riders wear a Berber turban, and the pace is slow and steady throughout, so it suits all ages including children and older travellers with no riding experience. The route passes small farms and irrigation channels before pausing at a Berber tent for mint tea. Sunset departures are the most photogenic, with the light coming low through the palms.
