Ride a Camel in Nzala, Agafay - Marrakech Desert Experience

Escape the bustling souks, streets and palaces of Marrakech and climb aboard a camel for a gentle ride through the leafy Palmeraie on the outskirts of the city; although the true desert lies farther away, this nearby oasis of manicured gardens, sweet-scented orange trees and palm groves provides ideal terrain for light camel riding, and a driver will collect you from your hotel and transfer you to meet experienced handlers and their trusted beasts; they guide you through authentic villas and green palms so you can discover how locals live beyond the city center, finish the experience with a refreshing mint tea, and conveniently book this activity through Varoom while planning stays in Nzala and Agafay.
