Why choose this experience in Marrakech?

A camel ride is one of the most relaxed ways to see the landscapes around Marrakech. The Palmeraie is only a short drive from the city, Agafay adds wide desert views and a dinner show, and the Merzouga tour takes you to the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.

What to expect

Camels are led by experienced handlers, so no riding experience is needed. Several experiences combine the ride with a quad bike session, and the Agafay tour continues with dinner and live entertainment. Check each tour's important information for age rules and what to bring.
