The sun leans low and the stone plains of the Marrakech desert throw long, warm shadows as you climb onto a camel’s padded saddle. The ride slips away from the city’s ochre walls into a dry sweep of rock and scrub where the ground hums with heat and the Atlas foothills hover on the horizon.

Hydrate before and during the ride

Saddle mounting and desert terrain are dusty and rocky—sturdy shoes protect your feet and make mounting easier.
Protect against the sun
Wide-brim hat, sunglasses and SPF are essential—bring a light scarf to shield your neck during mid-day rides.

If you have back, neck or pregnancy concerns, inform the operator before booking—camels have a unique mounting motion.
