A gentle ride through the palm groves

A camel ride in the Palmeraie is one of the easiest, most photogenic things to do in Marrakech — a short, gentle trek through the palm groves on the edge of the city, led on foot by a local handler. It asks nothing of you but to sit back and enjoy it, which makes it a favourite with families and anyone who wants the camel experience without a desert expedition.

Go at golden hour and the light through the palms is beautiful. Many rides include a stop for mint tea, and you can often dress in a traditional headscarf for photos. It's short, sweet and a lovely hour out — easily paired with a quad tour or a Palmeraie visit.

Before you book

Is it suitable for children and beginners?
Yes — it's one of the most family-friendly experiences in Marrakech. The ride is gentle, short and led on foot by a handler, so no experience is needed.
How long is the ride?
The ride itself is around an hour, with pick-up, tea and drop-off making it roughly one to two hours in total.
When's the best time to go?
Late afternoon into sunset is the most beautiful, with soft light through the palms. Mornings are quieter and cooler in summer.
What's the difference between group and private?
The group ride at €22 is a shared departure. The private option at €39 is just your party, with flexible timing — better for photos and small children.
