More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun sits low over a roofline of palms as your minivan rolls away from Marrakech’s ochre walls, and the Palmeraie opens like a scattered forest of trunks and shade. Start with a slow, measured camel trek: the animal’s gait rocks you forward while local guides drape Saharan robes for photos and shelter from the light. When the caravan dissolves, the quiet gives way to the thrum of quad engines as you head onto hardened tracks, palm-lined plateaus and pockets of rocky desert.
