Peaceful walk to the rhythm of the camels
Mostafa welcomed us very well. Kind, attentive, he made us spend a pleasant time with his camels through the dunes, the beach, eucalyptus and mimosas. The meal was hearty and delicious. This peaceful walk allows us to slow down the pace of to get into the quiet rhythm of the camels. Thank you Mostafa!

🇲🇦 The Best Tour in Essaouira – Mostafa Made It Perfect! ☀️ 🐪 😊
Don’t hesitate for a second to book this amazing tour! If you’re reading this, it’s the right moment to book your adventure with Mostafa. We spent a long time comparing different tours after arriving in Essaouira, and in the end, we chose this one — and it was absolutely the right decision. We loved every part of it! The camel ride was truly beautiful and peaceful, and the homemade food, prepared by Mostafa’s mother, was simply delicious. Mostafa took care of us every step of the way. He checked in often to make sure we were comfortable, was always happy to take photos for us, and made the experience feel personal and relaxed. He’s truly one of the kindest people we met in Essaouira — always open to share stories if you’re curious, and also a great cook himself! One of the highlights for us were the traditional Moroccan cloaks we got to wear during the entire tour — such a lovely touch. The food was honestly among the best Moroccan meals we had, and the tea was just perfect. Skip the short 2-hour camel, horse, or quad tours — this one may cost a little more, but it’s so worth it. Trust us, you won’t regret it. We’d gladly do it again. See you next time! 👋 Joschua & Ilona | South Korea ~ Switzerland
Response from the operator: Dear Joschua & Ilona, Wow — what a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. It truly means a lot to us. We’re absolutely delighted that you enjoyed every part of the tour — from the peaceful camel ride to the traditional Moroccan cloaks, and of course, the food lovingly prepared by Mostafa’s mother. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her — she’ll be thrilled to hear that her cooking was among your favorite meals in Morocco! Mostafa is deeply committed to making every guest feel welcome, relaxed, and cared for, and your words are the best reward he could receive. Thank you for highlighting the little touches that made your experience special — from the tea to the stories shared along the way. We would be honored to welcome you back anytime. Until then, take care and keep the memories close. Warm regards, The team

A huge thank you to Mostafa for this unique experience with his camels which he takes great care of. On the program: change of scenery, gargantuan meal and kindness of Mostafa! Experience with my 11 year old daughter who loved it!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Essaouira.
How much does Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal. cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Essaouira usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal. take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Essaouira is not rushed.
Is Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Essaouira, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal.?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Essaouira can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Essaouira and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Essaouira within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Essaouira?
+
On Outty we rank every Essaouira experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 hours ride on camel at sunset, 3-hour camel ride at sunset, Essaouira: 2-Hour Beach & Dunes Quad Tour with Tea. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Essaouira?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Essaouira?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal.?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Lunch; Loaned item: 1 Djellaba shawl; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal. include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Essaouira. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal. offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Essaouira: 1/2 Day Camel ride with meal.?
+
