Camel Ride Marrakech

If you are feeling active and fancy a change of scenery away from the bustling souks, shops, palaces and museums of Marrakech, why not consider a camel ride through the beautiful stone desert and palm groves of Marrakech? Children and adults can enjoy camel riding just a few minutes’ drive from Marrakech. 

​

The camel, known as the ‘ships of the desert’ is a remarkable animal and provide us with a relaxing way to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Marrakech desert. Once you’ve found your balance and got used to the very rhythmic motion a camel makes it's great fun! You’ll enjoy a break in a little village. Here you can stretch your legs, sip hot tea and enjoy Berber hospitality. Discover the millennial mud walls and clever hammams still in use today and how the aridity of the land unravels into a rich tapestry of tastes, flavours and myriad shades of red as the light changes across the landscape. 

 

Experience for a while the magic of the desert caravans that once plied these same paths between the Sahara and the Atlantic. There will be plenty of time for some fun photos and a chance to get to know your camel well!  This trip is operated by a specialist and very experienced local company. This family-friendly excursion can be tailored, on demand, to suit you and your parties tastes for exploration and adventure, all within the comfort of Marrakech.
