Country: Morocco
Duration:
02:00 hours
Description
Climb aboard a desert camel on this fascinating tour through the incredible Palm Grove of Marrakech. Trek with a dromedary camel through authentic villages and oasis-like landscape. Visit an authentic Berber home.
Leave the hustle and bustle of Marrakech behind and go on a half-day adventure. According to legend, this area was the site of a military camp, where, in the evenings, soldiers ate dates that had been carried from the pre-Saharan oases. The discarded pits fell into holes left by lances that had been thrust in the ground and so the palm groves of Marrakech were planted.
Donning your "cheich" (protective turban veil), you and your new camel friend will trek safely through the palm groves past villas, luxury properties and Berber homes. Enter the home of one of the local Berber families before heading back to the city.
