Great experience, terrible operator (STE transfers)
This is no reflection on the camel ride operators, but the tour operators STE TRANSFERS, who never bothered to even collect us. Leaving us waiting at the hotel despite us having confirmation of pickup, no calls or texts to say there were any issues. After waiting around for 45 mins we were left very disappointed after our hotel contacted them to discover that they were saying they didn’t even have a booking for us. This left my young daughter very upset as she was very excited about it and ruined our evening. After contacting Viator we were disappointed again to learn that the operators weren’t even willing to refund us which is ridiculous since they claimed we didn’t have a booking but they were happy to take our money so Viator said they would extend a refund to us on this occasion for the disappointment. We since booked via getyourguide using another operator and had a great time but I would avoid this operator in future as they seem very unprofessional, unresponsive and unreasonable.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and especially that your daughter was disappointed. We would like to clarify that the issue was not related to the camel ride operators or the activity itself. Unfortunately, the booking date modification made through the booking platform was never communicated to our company. As a result, we did not receive the updated reservation details and were therefore unable to arrange the pickup and activity for your booking. We understand how frustrating this situation was and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Had we received the updated booking information, we would have made all the necessary arrangements to ensure your experience went smoothly. Please contact us directly with your booking details so that we can review your case and process the appropriate refund. We value our guests and would welcome the opportunity to resolve this matter for you. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Marrakech Palmeraie: Camel Ride at Sunset: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does Marrakech Palmeraie: Camel Ride at Sunset cost?
+
Prices start at $17 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 Palmeraie: Camel Ride at Sunset 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 Palmeraie: Camel Ride at Sunset worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 15 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 Palmeraie: Camel Ride at Sunset?
+
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 Palmeraie: Camel Ride at Sunset suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Marrakech Palmeraie: Camel Ride at Sunset?
+
Around 5 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 Palmeraie: Camel Ride at Sunset 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 Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, Best Marrakech to Fes Sahara Desert Tour with Camp & Camel Trek, 3 Day Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Tour Camel Rides and Overnight. 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.
