DETAILED ITINERARY:

8:30 AM (or Your Chosen Time) – Hotel Pickup
Your driver collects you from your Marrakech hotel or riad in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The short 15–20 minute drive takes you to the edge of the historic Palmeraie, where palm trees stretch as far as the eye can see.

9:00 AM – Arrival & Camel Introduction
At the oasis entrance, meet your local camel handler—a Berber guide who cares for the animals and knows every trail. You’ll receive:
• A brief safety orientation (how to mount, dismount, and ride comfortably)
• Assistance getting onto your camel (each adult has their own; children ride with an adult)
• Your choice of departure time: morning light (9:00 AM), midday calm, or sunset magic (4:00 PM)
Pro Tip: The sunset ride is the most popular—offering cooler temperatures, softer shadows, and unforgettable twilight photography.

9:15 AM – Begin Your 2-Hour Camel Journey
Settle into the camel’s gentle sway as you glide through:
• Shaded palm alleyways dappled with sunlight
• Open desert corridors with panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains
• Mud-brick Berber hamlets where life moves at the rhythm of nature
Unlike motorized tours, this is slow travel at its finest—a meditative pace that lets you truly absorb the landscape, listen to the wind, and disconnect from city noise.

10:30 AM – Berber Village Cultural Stop
Midway, dismount at a traditional Amazigh (Berber) village for a moment of authentic hospitality:
• Sip steaming mint tea poured the Moroccan way—sweet, aromatic, and served with grace
• Taste fresh khobz (bread) dipped in locally pressed organic olive oil
• Change into a complimentary Berber djellaba or headscarf and pose for timeless photos against dunes and palms
This isn’t a staged show—it’s a genuine cultural exchange that supports local families.

11:00 AM – Final Ride & Farewell to the Oasis
Climb back on your camel for a peaceful final loop through the most scenic trails, soaking in the silence and serenity of the Palmeraie before returning to base.

11:30 AM – Return Transfer to Marrakech
Relax in your air-conditioned vehicle as you’re driven back to your accommodation—arriving refreshed, inspired, and already planning your next desert return.
