The day
Palmeraie camel ride
Pick-up from your hotel or riad and a short drive to the Palmeraie. Meet the camel handlers, choose your traditional headscarf if you wish, and ride at a slow pace between the palms and the small villages of the grove. Stop for mint tea, then return to your accommodation. Choose a morning ride, or late afternoon for softer light.

Tips
Personal expenses

Good to know

Suitable for most ages. Camels lean forward and back when they stand up and sit down, so hold on firmly at those moments. Tell us in advance if anyone in your group has back problems or is pregnant.

Every trip is private and can be adjusted: dates, pace, stops and the comfort level of your accommodation. Prices depend on group size and season, so we send a written quote with everything that is included.
