Take a camel ride in Agafay, Marrakech-Safi
Escape the bustling souks, streets and palaces of Marrakech and climb aboard a camel for a gentle ride through the beautiful Palmeraie on the outskirts of Marrakech; although the real desert is a little farther away, about a 20-minute drive lies an oasis of manicured gardens, sweet-scented orange trees and palm groves that make ideal terrain for light camel riding near Agafay in the Marrakech-Safi region - a driver will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to meet the camel handlers and their trusty beasts, who guide you through authentic villas and green palm groves so you can discover how locals live outside the city center, and finish the experience relaxing with a fresh mint tea.
