The sun is a low coin behind rows of date palms as you climb into a saddle and sway with the slow, deliberate gait of a camel. The Palmeraie’s sandy tracks open like corridors of light—palms leaning in, the city noise shrinking to a distant hum—while a guide fits your shesh and explains how camels carry people across arid lands.

History

Conservation

Hydrate before and after the ride
The Palmeraie is arid; bring water and drink often—bottled water is usually provided but carry a refillable bottle for the return.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand and occasional palm debris make sturdy shoes more comfortable than sandals when mounting and dismounting.
Sun protection matters at sunset
Even late-day sun can be strong—bring a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses for the ride.
Bring small local currency
Have small dirhams to tip the handler or to buy small crafts at the Berber house—cards are rarely accepted.
Closed‑toe shoes
Protects feet when mounting, dismounting, and walking on sandy tracks.
Sunhat and sunglasses
Shields face and eyes from strong late-afternoon sun during the ride.
summer
Light layered jacket or shawl

Small camera or smartphone with strap
