We had an amazing camel ride with Camel Ride Marrakech! The views in the Agafay Desert were stunning, and the experience felt authentic and peaceful. What stood out most was how well cared for the camels are. It’s clear they’re treated with kindness. The team was professional and friendly. A must-do activity when in Marrakech!

We rode camels at both Palmeraie and in the Agafay Desert.
If you don’t have a lot of time to spare for this experience go to Palmeraie, but if you can devote a few hours head out to the Agafay.
I highly recommend the 4pm tour in the Agafay as the light can be beautiful and really enhance photographs.
The one thing we didn't like was being asked to don blue robes and headwear, but you can easily decline without it being an issue.
All in all we had a great time and it was excellent value for money.

Très belle expérience avec camel ride marrakesh. Un package complet avec un prix qui défit toute concurrence. Ali était arrangeant, facile à joindre et extrêmement sympa. Si vous voulez vraiment vivre une belle expérience au désert d’agafay vous n’avez qu’à réserver avec eux. Je recommande énormement!!!
Highly over rated. The pick up vehicle from the Riad was without the AC and even in Dec, it was warm cramped with other passengers. Secondly Agafay is not Sahara desert, the camel ride covers a sandy patch with grits and pebbles, didn’t impress me even a bit. Lastly being served cold tea with no English speaking staff was a dampner.

What a wonderful trip and evening, my family and absolutely loved it. Camel riding in the desert, then a dinner in a glamping camp site with swimming pool, bathroom, very comfortable bedroom.
The entertainment was great at dinner too, very interactive and my kids were immersed. If your kids, like mine, love animals there are loads to interact with donkey, horse, camel, geese etc.
The party at the end was great fun as well with the wife, kids and I dancing around with all the other guests, just having a good time.
Would recommend this in a heartbeat.

Not even 1 star probably one of the worst tours I've been on and definitely not worth the money paid. I did the ATV ride first and we were stopping nearly every 5 minutes and felt as if we were just doing follow the leader in slow training mode while other groups were going fast on their ATVs.
I also had the camel ride included but didn't end up doing it as the way the camels were treated was really bad so I couldn't do it. The tour was supposed to be 3 hours from pick up to drop off but we ended up getting back to Hotel way after 4 hours. We sat in the van waiting . It was so unorganised I couldn't believe it. Don't waste your money and go with another tour.
Quite disappointing.
Firstly we were brought to a shop where we spent around 20 minutes. The shop was a total touristic trap with a lot of straw umbrellas etc. Then we were brought to the place with the camels. It was actually quite nice there; the getting on the camels felt a bit rushed as I was still taking photos with my camera when the guy approached and he immediately made the camel go down and I was supposed to get on. The ride itself was lovely, the camel guide really nice and also was a real pro with taking photos! Sadly it was not 1h long as advertised but around 35-40min. When I was done taking photos after the ride (I have time stamp from my camera and photos took me 10 minutes) we immediately had to go back and there was no time to go up to see the other touristic area and drink tea.
What made me give 3 starts is:
- the fact that i inquired about a sunset ride. It was supposed to be possible with the latest trip at 6pm but we were literally back in Marrakesh before the sun went down.
- camel ride was shorter than advertised
- whole rush situation around the camels
