Overview

Camel Ride in the Palm Grove

What this 1–2-day private Morocco tour from Marrakech covers, how the driving days are paced, and who it suits best.

The Palmeraie is an old palm grove on the north-east edge of the city, ten to fifteen minutes from the Medina.

A short, gentle ride through the palms in traditional dress, with mint tea at the end. It is the easiest way to get the camel photograph without committing a day to it — and it works well in the late afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the Camel Ride in the Palm Grove

Common questions about this Marrakech departure — pickup, the Sahara desert camp, luggage, children and payment.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes. The camels walk at a handler pace on flat ground and children usually ride with an adult alongside.

When is the best time?

Late afternoon — cooler, and the light through the palms is much better than at midday.

Is this the same as the Sahara?

No, and it does not pretend to be. It is a short palm-grove ride near the city. For dunes you need the desert tours.
