“Honestly, it was a wonderful experience with a warm welcome and excellent service. This was my first time trying this adventure,”
Ride a camel along Essaouira’s beach, visit a 15th-century Portuguese fort, spot birds, and enjoy pickup, photos, and sunset views for $22.10.
“Amazing experience! Our guide was so lovely and an awesome photographer, by far the best photos we've had all trip. He was so great when we wanted to make an unplanned stop so one of our friends could propose to his girlfriend, then helped us get some memorable pics of that. Best money we've spent all holiday.”
Ride a gentle dromedary from Diabat to Essaouira’s beach, dunes, forest, and Mogador views with a caring guide for all ages.
“Fantastic guide, had a lot of great knowledge to share with us about the area and the camels. The camels were also treated very well as far as I could tell and the guide had a strong relationship with them which was lovely to see. He was able to guide them with hand signals and voice commands. Also a great photographer! Definitely recommend whole experience. :)”
Ride a camel along Essaouira’s Atlantic beaches, dunes, and forests with hotel pickup, multilingual guides, and a two-hour route.
“definitely it wasn't nothing like from that photo. we had a random, local guy who pick us up from the pick up point by taxi , but I had to organised how to come to the hotel by myself. the camels weren't in perfect condition. The ride was OK, the guy was polite, helpful with our photos.”
Pick a medina, a mountain road or a stretch of dune.
