Camels are one of the animals that we will find always present when we do tourism in Morocco. They are used as a means of transportation in desert excursions. Camel safaris are one of the major attractions of Morocco. Most travel agencies offer interesting camel rides in the desert, as well as the locals themselves.
Taking a camel ride during your trip to Morocco is a different and original way to get to know places that are far away from the main cities and roads. We know that most people have never ridden a camel, are you ready for the adventure? One of your first adventures is going to be getting on the camel and getting used to being at a height of almost two meters off the ground, during the ride. Camels are trained and therefore docile, so you don’t have to be afraid – they will be your friend!
Among the best places where you can enjoy camel safaris are, of course, the monumental dunes of Erg Chebbi, in Merzouga, the dunes of Tinfou, in Zagora, or the dunes of Erg Chegaga. In these places you can continue with excursions to the valleys of Mharech, Ourika and Draa, Saghro, Nkob, Ait Ben Haddou, Mhamid and Tinerhir.
