Great communication from the tour operator. Prompt & friendly driver & our camel guide as well. Wonderful Berber hospitality made things all the more special. These people know what they're doing.
Our camel tour guide Radi (sorry if the spelling wrong) was incredible to all four of us, especially my two small children. They made sure to have the traditional Berber outfits in the kids sizes and made us all feel so welcome. He even made a beautiful camel souvenir for my two young boys out of the palm tree, straw leaves. It was just such an incredible, unforgettable experience. Definitely a bucket list item checked complete! The camels were wonderful too; Pablo and Chama (so cute) Thank you to both the tour guides this was an incredible, unforgettable experience for our family trip to Marrakech. Thank you to Mohammad our driver as well, he gave us a beautiful history conversation on the way to the camels. I would recommend this tour for any family, adult, age, etc,
Excellent time thanks to Abdel who told us the whole story of Marrakech by bringing us to the palm grove. Excellent walk with Amine , a mint tea and one in case homestay in the middle of the excursion. Sumptuous landscapes at sunset I recommend 100%
A very pleasant and interesting experience, riding the „Ships of the Desert“ in a large natural area at sunset. Our guide was pleasant and informative and added warmth to the experience. After about 30 minutes we stopped for refreshments and then returned. Our driver Mohammed was also very professional and helpful. All in all a good if you want a camel ride without spending 3 days going to the desert.
Great trip. Just what we wanted a camel ride for our family without selling opportunities. Both driver and camel guy were friendly and nice.
The driver Abdl, Jonas the tour guide were very professional and kind. We had a good time hearing about the local perspectives about the country. The tour is in the desert and you’re invited to someone’s home for food. Our host was also very welcoming and very generous with the serving. We were given Berber attire for the tour, which was worn over our clothes. We road two camels and there was a young baby camel that joined the trip as well. This was our first time doing something like this so, definitely a great memory for the books.
Hasma the guide is incredible. This was the best experience I ever went on. I can not recommend this enough. Truly the highlight of my trip!!!
Wonderful, peaceful evening riding a camel through the palm groves as the sunset. We were well looked after by our guide and driver, and enjoyed a break with mint tea and olives. The camels were lovely, and I fell a little bit in love with Scooby Doo - the baby camel who insisted on coming to work with his mum!
We are just back from the really wonderful experience of riding a camel across the palm groves at sunset. The driver and camel guide were both lovely, friendly people and were happy to answer all our questions about camels. We were treated to a snack of bread and olives with mint tea. The camels were adorable, especially the baby camel, Scooby Doo, who accompanied his mum while she worked.
Overall great experience. It was only 2 in our group so it felt very quiet and relaxing. They picked us up at our desired location on time. The drive was amazing. Taught us a lot about Morocco and the history in general. Made the ride very enjoyable and educational. The camel ride was peaceful at dusk. No one else was out and it was only us two on two camels. The Palms have run dry with less water than they had in decades prior so they look a bit in poor shape but nonetheless beautiful and great weather. Our guide was very friendly and took a lot of photos. I would recommend this others!
