Camel ride in Morocco Desert

Moroccan Camel Riding Experiences

When people think of the Saharan and Morccan Ergs and dune seas, their mind often immediately conjours images of camel rides and Lawrence of Arabia.

With Morocco Sunny Days, we can include camel rides on your tour and make that vision become a reality – in fact Lawrence of Arabia was filmed in Morocco and the famous studios are still there!

We operate several tour routes that allow for overnight stays in locations such as Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga, both of which allow for 1.5 hour camel rides through the dunes.

What about quad bikes?

If the idea camel riding gives you the hump, then we can organise for you to hire a quad bike instead! Just get in touch for booking details to find out more >>

Camel Riding in Morocco FAQs

Is Camel Riding ethical?

Done well, Camel riding is completely ethical. Camels have been bred for centuries in this part of the world and are uniquely adapted to both the desert conditions as well as the extra weight of the average adult human. We’re careful only to partner with camel ride operators who can be trusted to take good care of their animals. It may come as no surprise, but camels aren’t cheap and one that is not cared for will soon be unfit for giving camel rides, further incentivising excellent care for the owners (as if having a heart wasn’t enough!). We limit camel rides to 1.5 hours in the desert for the comfort of our guests and for our camels who earn their rest.

Is camel riding difficult?

Not all all! Even for the differently abled, with the skilled camel guide at your side most people are able to manage the hour and a half quite comfortably. All the camels are trained to do this and are very easy to lead.

Can members of our party ride quad bikes instead?

In most locations where you can find camel riding, you can also find quad bike tours too.
