Camel Ride Experience in the Palmeraie – Marrakech

Leave behind the busy medina and head to the serene Palmeraie, a lush palm grove located only a few minutes from Marrakech. This experience offers a genuine taste of Moroccan culture and hospitality — the perfect activity for families, couples, and friends.

Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel or riad and a short drive to the Palmeraie. Upon arrival, your friendly local team will welcome you and help you dress in a traditional Moroccan outfit (djellaba and turban) — great for photos and to protect you from the sun.

After a quick safety briefing, climb onto your camel and enjoy a 1-hour guided ride through the palm-filled landscapes. You’ll pass small Berber homes, local farms, and sandy paths shaded by thousands of palm trees — a true contrast to the busy city.

Halfway through the experience, take a break to enjoy authentic Moroccan mint tea in a Berber tent, surrounded by nature. Your local guides will share insights about Berber traditions and daily life.

At the end of your adventure, relax as your driver takes you back to your hotel — refreshed, smiling, and with plenty of great photos to remember the moment.
