More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung sun slides across a wide stone plain as a column of camels pads into view — slow, deliberate, and oddly graceful. Riders adjust in the saddle as the animals rise and fall, the desert around Marrakech opening into a horizon of pale rock and scattered palm groves. The Jbilets (stone) desert is not soft sand but a sculpted, lunar surface that paints shadows long and photographic.

Book late-afternoon for best light
Golden-hour brings dramatic shadows and warmer colors on the stone plains — aim to ride 60–90 minutes before sunset.
Protect your back
Camel mounting can jar the spine; those with back issues or pregnancy should avoid the ride.
Hydrate and sun-protect
Bring a reusable water bottle and broad-spectrum sunscreen — the sun off rock is intense even when temperatures feel mild.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Stony terrain and camel saddles are easier with sturdy shoes and ankle support.
Closed-toe hiking shoes

summer
