About this activity

Experience an authentic desert camel trek through Marrakesh's palm groves and traditional villages, where you'll follow historic caravan routes while dressed in a traditional cheich (desert scarf). This 90-minute escape from the medina immerses you in rural Moroccan life and countryside landscapes at an accessible price point.

Join this exciting camel trek in Marrakech and ride one of these beautiful creatures. You will journey to another world as you ride across the sands, and all for a fair price.

During this adventure of one hour, you will escape from the city of Marrakech to explore the countryside and follow  the footsteps of the old caravans who did this trip many years ago. 

Wear the cheich (desert scarf) and cross authentic villages and green palm groves, where you can observe the lifestyle of the inhabitants outside the city center of Marrakech.
