For centuries, camel caravans formed the backbone of Saharan commerce and nomadic lifestyle across Morocco. This family-friendly excursion brings the romance of the caravan to the tranquil shade of the Marrakech Palmeraie. After a short transfer, you are greeted by our local camel handlers. Don a flowing indigo gandoura tunic and wrap a traditional cheche turban around your head to protect against the sun. Mounted atop comfortable wool-padded saddles, embark on a peaceful one-hour trek through ancient palm clusters, passing rural mud-brick homesteads and historic irrigation canals. Your guides walk alongside, ensuring safety and capturing memorable photographs of your family. The experience concludes under a traditional nomad tent with a refreshing glass of sweet mint tea and Moroccan pastries.
