    Great family experience

    Family with Grandma had a lovely trip!

    Mohammed and Mohammed gave us a wonderful trip to the Argan oil cooperative, a location with a panoramic view, a tea break with lovely birds, and a smooth journey to Essouaira. They gave us lovely background information on the location. 100% recommend. Our 4 year old had a wonderful time at the beach. We felt very well looked after on this excursion!

    AMAZING

    UK explorers. Once the trip was booked I received a quick email stating place of time of pick up by Mohamed. The day arrived, the driver was on time and very friendly, it was a short trip to the destination where we was greeted and provided clothing- if wanted. The staff were friendly and happy to take photos and make sure our experience was lovely. The camel ride was an hour long which you could take it all in. Once the camel ride had go to the end they sat us down and provided us with tea, the best one I have tasted yet! Overall a very calm and pleasant experience. Highly recommend.

    Amazing experience and a great company

    Best day out on the whole holiday. We had a great walking tour of the atlas mountains with an amazing lunch in a local home, the best Tagine you can get. Followed by a camel ride at sunset, absolutely magical. Our driver Ali was so friendly and helpful and was happy stopping every now and again for a panoramic photo opportunity. He even went out of the way to show us the best view he knew of and wow.... incredible!

    A worthy tick on the bucket list

    A little nervous being a lone parent however I was put at ease the moment I contacted Muhammed before we arrived in Morocco. I contacted him by email to ask about the meeting point, best way to get there and costing etc and he was very quick to reply and very helpful in his response. We were kindly met at our hotel for a reasonable fee. Consider uk taxi rates for a 20 minute drive and back and this was very very well priced. I was conscious about our attire and wishing to be respectful as possible to the locals so we were pretty covered however we were dressed gowns and head dresses so next time I will likely wear shirts and vest or t-shirt rather than trousers given the temperature We arrived at the camels, very excited to see the calves also. After dressing in the gowns and headwear, Myself and my 5 year old were able to share one and my 11 year old went on one solo behind ours after the staff took plenty of lovely photos for us on my phone. Off we went with Diile our guide. I wish I knew more Arabic or French to express how happy we were. It was lovely to see many other camel parties on our ride around the Groves. There was a man ok a motorbike with a lovely pro camera offering to take lovely large photos with morocco flags and writing on the print for 20 dirhams. Unfortunately I only brought enough for my taxi, otherwiseni would have purchased one. We could see the mountains in the background. There was a lovely breeze to cool us down a bit also. The ride itself was very comfortable and I even had the camel behind by my leg so I could give it a nice pet 🙂 Diile stopped to take some more photos for us which was very kind. Before we headed back to our patch. We arrived after 1hr and removed our lovely traditional clothing, sat down and enjoyed the tea. I had 3 lots and my children weren't keen. I personally enjoyed it. It was sweet and reminded me of a Minty honey like texture and flavour. I would definitely get in touch with this provider next time we visit morocco 🇲🇦 Thank you for the most amazing experience

    Marrakech Desert Camel Ride: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Marrakech Desert Camel Ride cost?

    +

    Prices start at €30 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 Marrakech Desert Camel Ride take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Marrakech Desert Camel Ride worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Marrakech Desert Camel Ride?

    +

    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 Marrakech Desert Camel Ride suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Marrakech Desert Camel Ride?

    +

    Around 6 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Marrakech Desert Camel Ride 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, Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, 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 Marrakech Desert Camel Ride?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Marrakech Desert Camel Ride include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Marrakech. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Marrakech Desert Camel Ride offered in?

    +

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