About this activity

After picking you up in the hotel, we’ll lead towards the palm grove of Marrakech, composed by more than 100.00 palm trees which were planted during the Almoravid period.
When we arrive to the palm grove, you’ll be lend some traditional clothes of the Tuaregs, used since a long time to protect them from the sun and they are perfect for your holiday pictures.
Once we’re all prepared, we’ll get on the back of the camels to start the tour, in which we’ll see not only palm trees, but also deserted zones, channels of dry rivers and local villages. Because of this unique perspective, the experience is unforgettable.

our guide Jonas had so many stories and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight, and blew our Cape Town one out of the water.

our guide Pedro sorted everything for us and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight, and good as a half-day option, and ran the full 4 hours promised.
