Highlights

Your camel ride kicks off with an afternoon pickup at your hotel in Marrakech. Meet your driver and buckle up for a short comfortable ride. First we stop at a traditional Berber house, where you will sit for mint tea with the family and learn about their lives, history and customs.

Afterwards you will take the minivan back to the Palmeraie. Meet your camel when you arrive at the lush palm grove and learn the correct way to ride yours. These majestic desert animals have been used by Moroccans for centuries as a way to get across vast stretches of arid land. Learn about the important relationship between Moroccans and camels from your guide as you saunter into the grove.

Enjoy the view while riding your camel through the palm trees and desert shrubs. Remember to bring your camera to snap the beautiful unique sunset. When your ride is done, you will travel back to your hotel in Marrakech.

Great thing to do - Staff were very friendly and took great care to ensure we had a great and safe time. The tea break was also excellent.

Really nice experience - We were in a group of 2, so only my boyfriend and I and this was so magical. Our guide was so friendly and we loved his vibe so much. I don’t remember his name but he deserves the best! The camel ride itself was very fun too and it was amazing to see how Berber people live. They were also very sweet against the camels, because I was a bit scared that they were rude to them, but luckily that wasn’t the case. I really recommend this activity!

100% recommend, lovely experience - I can’t say a bad word about this experience. First, we got picked up from our hotel and made the journey to palm grove. It’s not a dessert, but it is a nice quiet area full of palm trees. The camels were beautiful and well treated. The tour guide was lovely, friendly and took pictures of us and all the other riders without even asking, he just offered which was nice. Then, we stopped off for tea and moroccan cookies which were home made by the family and we sat in their outdoor tent which was part of the family home so it felt like we were guests. The lady bringing the tea and cookies was so cute and friendly, so accommodating to us all. Next, we finished the tour by heading back to where we started and this was around the time the sun started to set so you could see lovely orange and pink skies. All in all, would deffo recommend. Also, although the tour guide does not at all put pressure on you to tip, I think it’s a nice thing to do seeing as he does go out of his way to make sure everyone is happy and to take photos of you which he doesn’t have to do.

The most fun camel ride - Our camel ride guides were just the most fun ever... We only had 7 camels each trip - not like some of the other camels trips with 10 or more at a time. There were two guides, one for the camels, and one that bounced around asking for our cameras and phones to take pictures of the group, and individuals. Happy and funny the whole trip. We stopped halfway through for a tipical mint tea at one of their homes and then back again in time of catch the sunset. Really nice, worth the money. (family of five travellers)

Best Camel Ride Ever! - This was the real deal. We were picked up at our hotel; driver was very personable, the car was clean and rode nicely. Arrived at the site in about 25 minutes and it was amazing. Aziz prepared us for our ride, dressed us in our outfits and away we rode into the sunset on our camel We had tea and cookies at a Berbers house which was lovely. I recommend this tour 100%. Thank you Amazal tours. April & Joe.

Terrible - No info what so ever upon pick up as to where we where going, doing or anything not to mention the hassel it was to arrange pick up. Taken to the Palmeraie to a place next to a construction area. Therefore in the background you could see cranes etc. Definitely no what I expected to see on this sunset ride. Everthing very rushed no info what so ever as to the camels, way to ride them, just a jump on and go. Taken to a Berber house??? for tea and cookies. Total disappointment as well, a walk in and walk out experience with no interaction with the host and in a peculiar setting motorbike and tyres next to where we where as if we where in a Berber garage?? Very BAD and a true TOURIST CATCHER and totally not recommended at least with AMANZAL TOURS through VIATOR. Altough in general camel rides in the Palmeraie from what I then heard are something similar, nothing more than tourist catchers.
