Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove of Marrakech
Overview :
Make like a true Moroccan with a classic mint tea and camel ride on this sunset experience from Marrakech. After pickup from your Marrakech hotel, visit a traditional Berber home to enjoy a refreshing mint tea with a friendly Berber family.

Here, hop on a camel and enjoy a leisurely 1-hour ride around the lush palms and sunset-washed sands of this picture-postcard grove.

- Enjoy a breathtaking sunset from the top of a camel
- Visit a traditional Berber house for tea
- Small-group tour limited to seven people to ensure a quality experience
What You Can Expect :
Begin your experience with a pickup from your central Marrakech hotel. Meet your friendly driver, hop inside your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with the rest of your small group, and set off for your first destination — a traditional Berber home.
Be welcomed by the friendly family who live in the house, and sit down for a delicious, freshly brewed mint tea — a staple in Morocco. As you sip, chat to the family members about their daily lives and the customs they follow.
Next, return to your vehicle and drive to the Palmeraie, a picturesque palm grove on the fringes of the city. Be shown to your camel and learn how these hardy desert animals have been used for transport in Morocco for centuries thanks to their ability to travel long distances without water.
After a safety briefing, climb into the saddle on the back of the camel and relax as you enjoy a ride through the verdant palms and sands. Take photos of the views as the sun descends through the sky and absorb the serenity of the surroundings as you saunter through the grounds.
After your approximate 1-hour ride, drive back to your hotel where your experience ends.
