Swap Marrakech's bustle for an hour on a friendly camel as the Atlas Mountains glow at sunset. This short excursion pairs a camel trek with mint tea in a Berber tent and easy transport from the city.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low sun slants across the scrub outside Marrakech as a low caravan of camels silhouettes against the Atlas range — the desert seems to hold its breath and then exhales in warm light. You meet your driver in Jemaa El-Fna or at your hotel, drive twenty minutes out of the medina, and trade the city's rhythm for a quieter tempo: the slow sway of camel steps and the hiss of evening wind.
