The tour was originally...

The tour was originally booked as a 1h camel ride, but decided to switch to the 3h experience; and I’m so glad I did! Mustafa was an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide, sharing local history throughout the ride. We enjoyed the best tea in Essaouira, along with olives and homemade bread and pastries prepared by his mom and sister. Mustafa also took amazing photos and videos that turned out incredible. Such an authentic, personal experience. A must-do!

We had a great day and highly recommend!

The experience was great, super helpful people and easy and enjoyable from every stage of her adventure. The bikers were great, very comfortable and all the equipment was excellent.
