It is a « must-do » during your stay in Marrakech: camel riding in some amazing landscape (palm groves or desert). Live exceptional moments that you will remember your entire life!

Why choose Dunes & Desert for a camel ride?

1 / For the authenticity: during the walk, you will stop at the locals for a tea break, where you will discover the hospitality of the inhabitants of Marrakech and taste the delicious Moroccan pancakes. Dunes & Desert provides you with a cheich (the nomadic scarf): you will be protected from the sun and will have the style of a real nomad, perfect for the pictures!

2 / To get off the beaten track: choose a camel ride with Dunes & Desert is the assurance of discovering authentic places, only in small groups or private ride, far from the crowds of tourists.

3 / For the respect of animals: our camel drivers are experienced and respect nature and animals. Our guides will answer all your questions about this iconic animal. Our camels are well treated: you can enjoy your ride peacefully! Learn more (blog article link).

4 / For the memories: we take pictures throughout the walk to immortalize your day and offer you beautiful holiday memories and what to feed your Instagram account. Some pics are freely available on our Facebook page in albums on the date of your activities:  https://www.facebook.com/dunesdesert/, and others, taken by our photographers are proposed for sale at the end of each session at cheap price.

5 / For comfort: we pick you up at your hotel / riad (or the nearest car park) to take you to the starting site of the ride. We also provide bottles of water to refresh you throughout the ride. The saddles of camels are replaced as often as possible to ensure a comfortable ride ☺

For all our camel excursions, we advise you to wear comfortable clothes, not too tight, and warm in winter. It is recommended to wear closed shoes (no flip-flops) and long pants (avoid shorts and short skirts for respect of local people). Don’t forget sunscreen in summer, or wear a long sleeve top to prevent sunburn.

Camel rides are available all year round. Two departures a day are organized, except during periods of high heat where the ride takes place only in the morning.

Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult and therefore share their mount. They pay half the price.

We also propose to combine a camel ride with quad or buggy. You start by a camel ride in the morning, then you enjoy a traditional lunch in a Berber village, and in the afternoon you discover the desert and hills on ATV. Ideal to practice two activities in the same day! This activity is open to all, this is the typical activity not to be missed during a stay in Morocco. It is ideal for both families and groups of friends on vacation.

NEW: we now propose a PRIVATE camel ride in the Agafay desert. Imagine arid hills with the snowy mountains of the Atlas mountainsas a backdrop… A real postcard!

Experience the magic of the desert caravans that once roamed the same paths
between the Sahara and the Atlantic … A must-try!
