Sunset camel ride in palm grove
Had a fantastic time riding the camels with our guide Hakim. Started off getting dressed up in traditional clothing and head wear then rode 4 camels to the local Berbers, where we enjoyed possibly the best Moroccan tea I've had while I've been in Marrakech. Hakim then guided us back through the palm groves and was really funny and chatty and spoke excellent English. He engaged with us all and even took photos of us on the camels as a group and as singles. He treated the camels really well and spoke to them to get them to do what he wanted them to rather than having to use any sticks etc
Response from the operator: Dear Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed exploring the markets with Hakim.It’s great to know that you appreciated the mix of history and shopping during your tour. We aim to provide a personalized experience, and being the only family on the tour allowed for a more intimate adventure. We hope to welcome you back for more explorations in the future! Best regards, Ismail Take Your Guide

Perfect sunset camel ride
The sunset camel ride was the perfect activity for us, Rachid picked up from as close to our riad as possible and then we had a short drive to palm grove, picking up one family on the way to form our small group of 5. When we arrived we were dressed in the comfy traditional Touareg robe. Your guide then takes you for a tour around palm grove, our guide doubled up as an incredible photographer and we have some lovely photos of us riding in the sunset. Once you return from the ride there’s some time to relax with some mint tea and biscuits. Rachid is then ready and waiting to take you back to your riad. Booking was easy and Ismale is very helpful at communicating pick up points, timings and answers any questions you may have
Response from the operator: Dear Oli C, We are absolutely thrilled to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the amazing review you posted on our TripAdvisor account!

If you want a guaranteed special experience, you need to book this trip
Where to start with this review… well, it was our first time in Morocco and we were spoilt for choice on what to do and we just so happened across this camel ride organised by Ismail. The original day we booked, I’d had been feeling unwell and Ismail was so quick to respond and allowed me to move the activity to whichever day I wanted. The excursion itself was just what you need when you’re in a completely new company. Rachid picks you up from your riad, if possible and if not he gets as close as he can. His warm personality and big smile make you feel welcomed and safe instantly. He drives you in an air conditioned minivan to the site where Zackery takes over. Zackery was such a lovely and quiet man, he was such an amazing photographer that has taken some shots of my most precious memories that I’ll cherish forever. He should be a professional, he knows all the right angels and lighting without even having to ask. Palm grove is beautiful, especially at sunset so I recommend you do the 5pm one for the best pictures!! After the experience you get complimentary authentic Moroccan mint tea in a beautiful camp. Everything is picture worthy from the sinks you wash your hands too to the biscuits they offer you. Honestly, this is such good value for money and an amazing launch into your trip in Marrakesh. From Ismail on Airbnb, to Rachid and Zackery, we couldn’t be happier. The bonus was that we met Rachid, a lovely man we now consider a friend. He has helped us so much throughout our trip with organising more trips and experiences for us that have felt so special. I really recommend reaching out and getting Ismail and Rachid (they work together as a team) to personalise a trip for you. It’s more than your value for money, a truly VIP experience that will have to be detailed in another review because I just can’t sing their praises high enough. If you want to make the most of Morocco, both of these men are experts and have lots of networking links to get you onto opportunities that otherwise would’ve costed more or you would’ve been at the control of a bigger groups interest. Whereas this way, you can feel like your experiencing something individual and unique whilst still joining up with groups when it matters. Please, please book anything with Ismail and Rachid, they are building their business and I feel so lucky that we found them at this time because who knows how big they’ll be in a few years so snag this bespoke opportunity now!! You won’t regret it at all.

Awesome private sunset camel ride
Very cool camel ride to end a trip in Morocco. The walk is in a gorgeous suburb of Marrakesh through the Palmery, so it is very quick ride from the city center. Smooth pickup, nice driver and team.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove Of Marrakech: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Casablanca.
How much does Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove Of Marrakech cost?
+
Prices start at $31 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Casablanca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove Of Marrakech take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Casablanca is not rushed.
Is Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove Of Marrakech worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Casablanca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove 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 Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove Of Marrakech suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove Of Marrakech?
+
Around 12 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 Casablanca 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 Casablanca and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove 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 Casablanca 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 Casablanca?
+
On Outty we rank every Casablanca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Casablanca Hassan II Mosque and City Highlights Tour, Casablanca Half-day Guided Tour with Hassan II mosque ticket, Private Guided Tour of Casablanca Including Mosque Entrance. 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 Casablanca?
+
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 Casablanca?
+
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.

+
Included: Bottled water; Snack with Moroccan mint tea are included in Berber house; Hotel pickup and Drop-off; English Spanish French speaking guide; and Transport by air-conditioned minivan or 4WD. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove 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.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sunset Camel Ride in the Palm Grove Of Marrakech?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
