Sunset Camel Ride

Hakan_E, Nov 2025

Our guide and the driver was very helpful, resourceful and enthusiastic. The drive through the Atlas Mountains was very scenic with amazing geography. The camel rides during sunset and sunrise were fun and unique experiences. The things that could be better: 1) The hotel we stayed the first night was not good with stained bed sheets. 2) Our hotel at the return was outside Marrakesh. The driver demanded $20 Euro extra as we got off without any prior notification and despite the fact that he dropped another couple 5 mins from our hotel. I did not appreciate that. I thought it was dishonest.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the guide, the driver, the scenic drive through the Atlas Mountains, and the camel rides at sunrise and sunset. Your positive remarks about these experiences are greatly appreciated. We also sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the hotels and any misunderstanding regarding the drop-off fee. We take your comments seriously and will review them with our team to ensure better clarity and service for future guests. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you back to Morocco for another memorable trip.

Don't miss it!

Great experience and well organized. Of course, you have to have a bit of adaptive spirit (all the hotels on the route don’t shine in order and cleanliness) but the vision of the desert compensates for the fatigue of the journey. Our driver, Jamel, is fantastic: always available, kind but also great as a driver! Overnight in the desert in a luxury tent, with private bathroom, is highly recommended. Be careful when you arrive at the Air Ben Haddou website, because the guides are dishonest and ask for the money of the entrance fee: you do not have to pay because the entrance is already included in the price of the trip! We informed the agency, which promptly refunded us.
