Beautiful beach sunset tour by camel
tammybK5452ML, October 2026
Thank you for the fantastic 3 hour sunset camel tour in Essaouira! My wife and I had an amazing time in a small group setting. Mostafa is an excellent guide who cares about his clients and his camels! The camels (dromedaries) are very well taken care of and have extra comfortable saddles for the riders. He has built this business one camel at a time and it really shows in the way the tour is conducted. Mostafa makes sure everyone is enjoying themselves and goes home with amazing memories and pictures. This experience is beautiful, delicious and culturally enriching. We highly recommend taking this tour to get a great experience for your money!

The well-being of my dromedaries and the happiness of my guests are always my top priorities.

As a solo traveler, one of the highlights was taking the camels all the way out to the waves and having the guide take amazing photos and videos for me. It made the experience even more special, and I came away with some fantastic memories and pictures.

The most magical experience. Mostafa was incredible from start to finish. Warm, friendly, welcoming, so engaged and so so loving of his animals.

Experience the heart and soul of Morocco
David_G, September 2026
This was very special! From the start Mustaffa was friendly and engaging (in French and English, and from the moment one settles into the loping rhythms of these lovely animals you start connecting with the heart and soul of Morocco and the Berber culture. The stop for green tea and eats in the forest courtesy of our host added to the vibe, and the final ride along the beach was mesmerizing. To top it off Mustaffa put his excellent photography skills to good use, providing us with stunning images of beach ride against setting sun. This will live with us for a long time
Response from the operator · Mostafa1985 Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt reflection on your experience with us. It is wonderful to know that the ride became more than just an outdoor activity and gave you a genuine connection with the landscapes, traditions, and spirit of Morocco.
I’m especially happy that you enjoyed the peaceful moments in the forest and the atmosphere of the beach ride at sunset. These are exactly the moments we hope our guests will take home with them. And knowing that the photographs will help keep those memories alive makes me very happy.
It was a real pleasure to share this experience with you. Thank you for trusting us and for your beautiful words. We hope to welcome you back to Essaouira one day for another memorable adventure!
