4.9(754)· Agafay· By Chameau Marrakech Free cancellation
Escape the bustling souks, streets, and palaces of Marrakech. Climb aboard a camel for a ride through the beautiful Palmeraie on the outskirts of the city.
While the true desert is too far from the city center, an oasis of manicured gardens, sweet-scented orange trees, and palm groves lies about a 20-minute drive away, offering ideal terrain for a gentle camel ride.
A driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you to meet the camel handlers and their reliable animals. They will then guide you into the Palmeraie, passing by authentic villas and lush palm groves.
Discover the local way of life outside the city center. Conclude your experience with a refreshing mint tea.

Nice time
Phipps40, August 2026
So I’m not one for wanting to exploit animals for the tourist trade, hiwever as my children have never experienced it, I sucked it up fir them…sorry camels!
Anyway, a really lovely hour and a half and the kids enjoyed it, which is all I wanted as they have never been.
I wouldn’t do it again, as the kids have now done that and i don’t like animals being exploited for tourism but had a nice time

Perfect one-hour camel ride experience with dunes, Berber clothing and tea
csabab672, July 2026
We had an amazing camel ride experience! The flexible pickup made everything easy, and riding through the beautiful dunes in traditional Berber clothing felt truly authentic. Our camel guide was friendly and helpful, took great photos for us, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. The one-hour ride was a perfect match for us. Highly recommended!

Great Experience and Amazing Staff!
Alejandro_H, June 2026
Our driver picked us up and took us straight to the site where the camels are just outside the city. Yassin, who took us on our camel ride, was super friendly and informative the entire time. He stopped to take pictures and videos of us along the way. They invited us for tea and cookies afterwards which was perfect to end off the experience.
