A Marrakech Morocco camel ride is usually done in the Palmeraie or in the Agafay Desert outside the city. Oasis Sky offers Agafay Desert experiences from Marrakech that include camel rides, and you can reserve them online. Read on to see what a ride involves, what to compare, and how to arrange one.
Camel ride in Marrakech with Oasis Sky
A camel ride is a slow, seated walk on a camel, led across open scenery. Around Marrakech, the places most often featured are the Palmeraie and the Agafay Desert. Oasis Sky works in the Agafay Desert and organises packaged day and evening tours from Marrakech.
The camel ride can be part of a wider outing. Our desert experiences combine scenery with meals, live shows, quad biking, buggy rides and pool access, so you can choose how much to add around the ride.
Where camel rides take place near Marrakech
- The Palmeraie: a palm grove area often featured for short camel rides.
- The Agafay Desert: a stony desert landscape reached from Marrakech, where our tours take place.
Some camel ride experiences also include a visit to a Berber village. Whether this is part of a given option depends on the tour, so check the description of the one you choose.

How to choose a camel ride
When you compare options, look at these points:
- What is included: ride only, or ride plus a meal, show or other activities.
- Time of day: day tours and evening tours feel different, and the evening ones are built around the desert setting after the day.
- Location: Palmeraie, Agafay, or a route with a village visit.
- Group needs: think about whether everyone wants only the camel ride or also quad bikes, buggies or the pool.
Tips and safety
- Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes that suit sand and stones.
- Bring sun protection for daytime outings.
- Follow the guide’s instructions when getting on and off the camel, and hold on while the animal stands up or sits down.
- Tell the team before the ride if anyone has a health concern or a worry about riding.
- Be gentle and calm around the animals.
