The staff was friendly and entertaining. One of the guides was singing for himself and I found it quite fitting for the whole atmosphere. Another guide made small camel models out of palm tree leaves, which the kids loved😀

We both had a great time camel trekking around the Palmeraie. Our guide was very friendly and took some fun pictures of us on the camels. Overall a great experience which we recommend to join.

Booked this as something we both have always wanted to do. It was a fun experience and we laughed from start to finish and got some great photos

Fun affordable experience

Beth_P, Dec 2023

Fun short, affordable camel riding experience. Exactly what we were looking for. Our guide, Abraham was a delight. Funny, patient, kind to the camels and us and took lots of photos for us!

Excellent camel ride

Sophie_F, Sep 2023

Wonderful experience. Our driver was waiting for us at the meeting point in a lovely air con car and drove us to Palmerie. Once there our Berber guide was so enthusiastic and fun and the camels looked in very good condition. We had a long walk around the Palmerie area led by the guide who took photos for us and even added a soundtrack. After dismounting the camels we are given mint tea and could chat together before being driven back to the meeting point. I highly recommend this trip as it was such a relaxing beautiful experience.

Wonderful camel trek

Juliana_Y, Jul 2023

Fun experience. Our guide was very nice and took amazing pictures and video of us while we rode. You get to wear traditional Moroccan clothing and headscarfs during the ride which is very helpful with keeping the sun off of you.

Loved this experience.

Harry_J, Jul 2023

Absolutely loved this camel ride experience. So chilled out and relaxing. Our guide, Aziz, was lovely. He was singing the whole time and made us these woven camels out of palm leaves. Got lots of photos and videos for us and couldn’t have done anything more. 5* you need to do this.

Great experience!

Thanks to Ibrahim, we had a great time. He was great host and made us feel welcome and the ride interesting, highlight of my trip!

Basic camel experience just outside town

Francesco_M, Oct 2022

Friendly staff but location quite honestly felt artificial. Also the experience felt rushed and schedule changed at short notice

Marrakech camel ride

shawn_A, Oct 2022

The camel ride operators! They were funny, friendly and helpful. It was just an hour not too short not too long, just right!

Best experience ever

Elizabeth_E, Oct 2022

Could not upload images but if I could they wouldn’t have done this amazing experience any justice. Absolutely incredible from start to finish, excellent transfers in a mini bus with air con, friendly and helpful hosts. Clean outfit to put on upon arrival, and the camels were so friendly! Plenty of ride time and our guide was so helpful and friendly and took 100’s of photos for us! Half way round he took a small leaf and made it into a camel and it was such a kind gesture. Didn’t want to leave I could of stayed there all day, mint tea was provided upon arrival back from our ride and the opportunity to meet the other camels and have photos with them too.

Wonderful

ayeni99, Oct 2022

Cheryl_T, Sep 2022

Fab camel ride

JYOTI_P, Aug 2022

Hamid our guide was brilliant. He sang whilst doing our camel ride, he took more than enough photo’s for us & lastly made wonderful keepsakes out of plants for the children. Would highly recommend :)

I would not recommend it

Silvia_S, Aug 2022

The 50eur were not worthy. We took this activity for the reviews but it was just one hour ride on a dromedary in a place full with palms.
