Camel ride and sun sunset in the desert was magnificent. Dinner was fresh and delicious.Highly recommend to choose this company because they are professional and correct. Thank you and we definitely come back again in Marocco.

    Without the camel ride it would have been amazing ! The dinner experience is 10/10

    The trip didn’t start well but the dinner left us with good feelings. I’d say between average and good. - Please be aware that the times stated on TripAdvisor are summer times!!! They texted us in the middle of the day that it is not possible at 6pm (when we booked the trip) because the sun is already set by 6pm. It was 1,5hours before pickup time. For this reason we weren’t able to see the Bahia Palace. They will ask you to confirm tho, so try to find a place with WiFi if you don’t have internet. We didn’t, so it was our luck that I saw the message. - We were picked up by another driver, than the one that was messaging us, because of time management. A family was very late and messed up their whole schedule, so that driver picked us up and dropped us off at some random street, where our original driver met us. This could have been communicated but we found it adventurous. We sat on the front seats which was comfortable. - Our driver was a nice man but I think he was a little bit stressed, because that family was extremely late and they argued with him. They probably didn’t see that the times changed from 6pm to 5pm. They didn’t pick up the phone when he called them either. - Since we were late, we were rushing with the camel ride, poor camels were hit (not hard!!!) and yelled at, just for our entertainment. Thought I’d never ride a camel again (2 days later we rode camels again but they were handled in a nice way). The ride was about 10-15 minutes ? Maybe less, but it was super rushed, I didn’t feel safe at all. The camels were bumping into each other because of the speed and their necks were bending. I literally thought I’m going to fall at any given second. We agreed with my boyfriend that it is possibly so because we were very late. - The sunset was beautiful but couldn’t enjoy it much because I was focused on not falling. - After the camel ride we drove to the spot for the dinner. At this point we were still disappointed but the dinner changed our experience. - We were welcomed with mint tea, which was amazing, they call it “Berber Whisky”. The waiters were extremely friendly. The food was nice, might require a bit more salt for me, but that’s personal opinion - They lit up a campfire, which was really nice because we were freezing - Here came the thing that changed our experience the most, they started singing and dancing around the fire and made us stand up too. If you are shy stay in the background because they will dance with you by taking you by the hand. - After that our driver drove us home. Overall experience: - We felt rushed but the day ended well. Wouldn’t necessarily do it like this again, would skip the came ride, but the dinner is well worth it!

    YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!

    This was the best experience I have ever been on! A camel ride whilst the sun sets in the desert is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. And the three course meal was delicious. We were treated to an authentic Moroccan sing song around the campfire too which was great! The fact that we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel was the icing on the cake.

    Awesome Atlas Mountain guide

    Our guide Babala is excellent. He is very attentive, knowledgeable, and has great language skills. He really has great energy and enthusiasm. He grew up in the valley and knows the locale and it’s history. Highly recommend him!

    Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.

    How much does Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech cost?

    +

    Prices start at €60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech 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 Marrakech is not rushed.

    Is Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 117 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech?

    +

    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 Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech 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 Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech?

    +

    Around 41 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 Marrakech 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 Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech 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 Marrakech 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 Marrakech?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, 3 Days Merzouga Desert Tour from Marrakech with Luxury Camp, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. 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 Marrakech?

    +

    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 Marrakech?

    +

    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 Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech?

    +

    Included: Transport; Camel Ride; Dinner; Mint tea and drinks; and Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 682 listed pickup locations in and around Marrakech. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Is Marical dinner and camel ride at sunset in Desert of Marrakech wheelchair or stroller accessible?
