Super experience. Picked up at hotel. Brought directly out to the desert. We'll cared for camels. Mohamod was a great tour guide loads of energy and really worked hard to make our camel ride special
We booked the trip for same day in the morning and we got confirmation promptly. Even later when we wanted to clarify a few things they replied promptly. Transfers were good, driver friendly & chatty, explaining about different landmarks on the way. Loved this as he also told us about the history of the city. Thank you. We were welcomed by friendly staff at the camp. Had a smooth ride to top of the mountains/dunes. Staff also managed to take good photos of us in the sunset making the whole trip magical. Nack at camp we had mint tea & bottled water. Thank you. Good value for the price Can recommend.
Be sure to ask the camel handler if the camel is stubborn. My family were trying to get on our individual camel while they were kneeling down when the camel I was already on stood up and triggered the other camels to get up too soon; my wife almost fell.. Then when it was time to get off my camel which was kneeling down, it got up again too soon while I was getting off; I had to hold on tight before I let go so the handler could catch me. Not a pleasant experience. The handler, though, was a nice guy who did his best.
We booked a sunset camel ride for my daughter's birthday. This was easy to book on Viator and a good value for money compared to the same excursion sold in Marrakech. Transfer to and from the Palmeraie was included which was great and practical. The excursion felt a little bit rushed to start with, probably to keep up with timings, but the ride in the Palmeraie was nice and long enough. The guide was pleasant. We could get some lovely pictures of the sunset. However, I wish we had time to take individual pictures with our camels. For some reason our Family was split (2 at the back and 1 in the middle) which wasn't great as we could not share this moment together as a family. Also, the camels were attached to each other with a very short rope which seemed very uncomfortable for the animals (but maybe this was for safety reasons?) I would still recommend this as it was a fun and relaxed moment, and an experience to remember.
Nothing wrong! The staff is lovely, take the time to take pictures in great places! The camels sound well treated! And the taxi picked us up in front of our hotel on time! The routes are amazing, they even made us do the activity for longer than expected! I recommend 100%
The reviews for this experience are excellent however we cannot say we agree. We where picked up on time which was great however as soon as we arrived we felt we had made the wrong decision. The camels all had a rope tied around there ankle that tethered them to a metal rod in the ground so they couldn’t move far and each camel was attached by rope to another camel which barely gave them enough room to move there heads. If one camel moved then all of them had to move. Then to mount the camels they needed to kneel on the ground and they way the guides got them to do this was by using a stick and rapping the camels knees to make them bend. The scenic route we thought we would be taking turned out to be what appeared to be wasteland full of empty wine bottles, rubbish, cardboard boxes and Heineken cans. We felt that we had contributed to the camels poor life by paying for this trip and we therefore would definitely not recommend or do a trip like this again. A poor baby camel followed his family all the way around also which we felt sad about - This is the first bad review I have ever wrote on here but feel I need to be honest for other travellers
Sunset camel ride was an amazing calm experience and we were able to take beautiful memorable photos
Great experience with Nasser super guide. Recommended. Issa made sure to transfer the hotel to the activity. Tea offered very very good. Come without hesitation!!!
They picked me up at my hotel and are very patient and kind. The ride itself was also great with a beautiful sunset and a cup of tea after. Would highly recommend!
Perfect experience for a short camel ride without having to drive out into the desert. Camels seemed well taken care of. The team was great and communicative with pickup, took photos of us and made sure we enjoyed our experience.
