🐪 1-Hour Camel Ride in Agafay Desert
Escape the bustling streets of Marrakech and embark on a peaceful camel ride through the Agafay Desert. Just 30–45 minutes from the city, this unique desert landscape offers rolling rocky plateaus, dry riverbeds, and stunning views of the Atlas Mountains. Unlike the Sahara, Agafay’s rugged beauty provides a serene and authentic desert experience without the long travel time.
Upon arrival, our friendly guides will welcome you and help you dress in a traditional Saharan scarf (cheich), just like the nomads. After a brief safety introduction, you’ll meet your calm and well-trained camel before setting off on a peaceful 1-hour ride through the desert. Midway through, you’ll stop at a Berber tent, where you’ll be welcomed with refreshing Moroccan mint tea and get a glimpse into traditional Berber hospitality.
This camel riding experience in Agafay is perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers looking for a relaxing yet immersive Moroccan adventure. To make your tour even more special, you can add a traditional Moroccan lunch or dinner in the desert for a complete cultural experience.
