Make like a true Moroccan during this sunset camel ride experience from Marrakech. After pickup from your Marrakesh hotel, visit a traditional Berber home to enjoy a refreshing mint tea with a local family. Next, continue to the Palmeraie, a palm grove that edges Marrakesh. Here, hop on a camel and enjoy a leisurely ride around the lush palms and sunset-washed sands in much more comfortable temperatures than you'd get in the day.

On the first day, ride to Imlil from Marrakesh and begin your trek. You'll head along the Ait Mizane Valley, pass through the village of Aremd and onto the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. You’ll follow mule tracks into the high rocky cliffs, climbing steadily above the snow line until you reach the Toukbal Refuge. Rest here for the night. On the second day, you’ll follow the southern circle route. The climb itself is not highly strenuous, but scree and altitude changes may make it difficult in parts. Don't worry - there are plenty of views to distract you along the way. When you reach the summit, soak in the 360-degree-view. You'll see the Marrakech Plain and the High Atlas Mountains to the north, all the way to the Anti-Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert in the south. From the peak, you’ll head back down the mountain and return to Marrakesh via Imill.

Follow trails through the palm groves of Marrakech on a camel on this guided trek. Clamber onto your own camel and admire views of the Palmeraie – the vast palm oasis that fringes the city — as you make your way along the sandy pathways through the shady trees. Your adventure includes a break for traditional Moroccan mint tea and return minivan transfers from your hotel or riad in Marrakech.
