Desert
Marrakech Camel Safari in the Palmeraie
Overview
You do not need to go to the Sahara to ride a camel. In the Palmeraie, just outside Marrakech, the camel men lead you on a slow walk between the palms, with the Atlas Mountains in the distance on clear days.
Our camels work short days with plenty of rest, and their welfare always comes first. The sunset ride is the most popular, when the light turns golden over the palms.
