A camel ride through this stunning oasis offers an authentic Moroccan experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories. Discover the allure of Marrakech’s hidden gem as you traverse the golden sands of the Palmeraie atop these gentle giants.
Marrakech’s Palmeraie is a lush, sprawling palm grove located just a short drive from the city center. Stretching over 13,000 hectares, it’s home to thousands of swaying palm trees, providing a stark contrast to the bustling medina. The serenity of the Palmeraie has made it a popular destination for travelers seeking tranquility and a taste of the Moroccan countryside.
Your journey begins as you arrive at the Palmeraie, greeted by the sight of majestic camels, each adorned in vibrant traditional Berber saddles. Expert guides will introduce you to your friendly camel, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the ride. Once you’re comfortably seated atop your camel, the real adventure begins.

The aroma of blooming flowers and the distant call of exotic birds create a sensory symphony that’s uniquely Moroccan.
For an extra dose of magic, consider booking a sunset camel ride. As the sun sinks below the horizon, the Palmeraie transforms into a breathtaking dreamscape. The warm, golden hues of the desert are painted with the rich, fiery colors of the setting sun. It’s a romantic and awe-inspiring sight that’s perfect for couples and photographers alike.
After your camel ride, you’ll have the chance to experience Moroccan hospitality at its finest.

Great day! We really enjoyed the ourika valley tour. The guides were great and executed the day perfectly. There was a driver and a hiking guide. We made a stop for a photo, then to a Berber village, then the hike to the waterfalls, and lastly a lunch stop by the river. The tour was limited to 8 people, and each person could chose how much they wanted to hike. I’d recommend it.carlymz Incredible We were left completely speechless on this tour, everything was planned out perfectly we didn’t have to stress about anything. The food provided was delicious we were left very full after every meal. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful. Our driver Badre was one of the most humble souls we have met. He was very knowledgeable on every place we went to and we felt very safe with him. He was very kind and thoughtful, he took us for coffees, organised a nice romantic dinner for my partner and I, let us have a rest in his hotel room to shower/nap before we went to the desert , he even gave me his hat when I forgot mine. The tour could not have been any more perfect. We loved visiting Morocco 💕🥰Courtney S Excellent day We had a wonderful day! Using a private tour - really just your group - makes sense, especially if you’re a family with young kids. We had total freedom to take a break, change our itinerary, take our lunch at leisure. Badre, our guide, was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He arranged for the guide to take us on the hike and even lent us cash, when we fell short (for lunch, at the village)Thanks!Parag N Atlas Mountains - Ourika Valley, Highly Recommended Experience A big thank you Imad for the wonderful day that my wife and our 2 children could spend with you.Everything was super well organized and the program of the day varied.Beautiful landscapes, visit the women's cooperative manufacturer of argan oil, very nice walk through the Berber villages before a very good meal (tajine chicken and vegetables + fruit as dessert)Thank you for your experience, your sharing on Berber culture and your smile!Strongly recommended experience.

Ali is the best of the best when it comes to hospitality in Morocco. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left - he was a constant person we were able to contact for assistance, advice, guidance, and friendship!

Thank you Ali for truly the best service, we hope to be back sooner than later!lisapatti Great Experience, Superb Hospitality & Organisation Ali looked after us so well from the moment we arrived very hot and sweaty, to the day we left he went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed. He gave us the low-down on where to go and where not to go in Marrakesh and provided information about the local customs. We loved our chats with him about Moroccan life. His warm and welcoming personality make him the perfect host and we thoroughly recommend him. We'll definitely make sure that we catch up with him when we're in Morocco again.Matt C Servizio top Spostarsi all’estero è sempre complicato ma il servizio offerto da Sunny Excursion è davvero di alta qualità.

He went out of his way to make sure me and my friend had the perfect time in Marrakech. Definitely someone you can trust! I am definitely coming again and booking excursions here!Rdghunt All you need I traveled to Marrakech last year (May 2018) with 3 friends and we met Ali there. His practical tips have been really helpful! This year (March 2019) my parents and another couple went to Marrakech and Ali organized for them a camel ride and a trip to the mountains. They loved the trips!!! The driver was really nice to them and always on time. They also book a private transfer from airport to riad. The driver was at airport with a panel saying their names when they arrived. Really good service 👍🏼vanessaribeiroReviews
