Highlights
  • Jemaa el-Fnaa - Leave the hustle and bustle of Marrakech behind and go on a half-day adventure. According to legend, this area was the site of a military camp, where, in the evenings, soldiers ate dates that had been carried from the pre-Saharan oases. The discarded pits fell into holes left by lances that had been thrust in the ground and so the palm groves of Marrakech were planted.

Donning your “cheich” (protective turban veil), you and your new camel friend will trek safely through the palm groves past villas, luxury properties and Berber homes. Sit back with a refreshing glass of mint tea at the home of one of the local Berber families before heading back to the city.

What's Included
  • Air-conditioned transportation
  • 2-hour camel ride adventure
  • Complimentary tea and coffee
Additional Information

Escape the vibrant chaos of Marrakech with a half-day outing. As the story goes, this region was once a military base. Soldiers, during their night-time rest, consumed dates transported from pre-Saharan oasis regions. The leftover seeds from these dates were discarded into the lance-made holes in the earth, paving the way for the creation of Marrakech’s lush palm groves.

Suiting up with your ‘cheich’ (a safeguarding turban veil), you’ll embark on a secure journey with your camel companion through the palm-studded landscape, passing by plush villas, high-end estates, and authentic Berber houses. Conclude your tour with a revitalizing glass of mint tea at a traditional Berber household, before traveling back to the metropolis.

It was great! - We really loved this experience! Khalil, our guide, was extremely nice. He picked us up at the Riad where we are staying and took us to the desert. The camel ride was incredible. Mustafa is a very friendly guide who answered all our questions and even offered to take pictures. The animals were well taken care of and even their babies came along following us the whole ride. After the camel ride we enjoyed tea and a nice chat with the guides. Loved it!

Best Ever! - This was literally the best experience ever. Khalil was our tour guide and he made sure we got plenty of memories. He was running around the beach recording us, took photos along the way, and he even learned how to do boomerang (motion photos) with us! The driver was also great (yes transportation was included!) He took us to the airport the following day, but first we went to an argon oil museum and the local market to purchase souvenirs! We were only there for two nights and this experience made all the difference! Highly recommended!
