Agadir: Camel Ride & Sunset Dinner with Local Flavors

Summary

Sunset camel trek in Agadir with riverside dinner and tea

You’ll ride camels along Agadir’s Souss River at sunset, guided by locals who know every bend of the trail. Afterward, relax at a ranch with mint tea and homemade pastries before sharing a barbecue-couscous dinner outdoors. Expect laughter, real flavors, and small moments that stick with you long after.

What’s the experience like?

We climbed onto the camels just as the light started to turn gold — I remember my hands gripping the saddle, a little nervous at first, but our guide Hassan just grinned and told me to relax. The camels moved slow, swaying side to side, and you could hear their soft snorts mixed with birds somewhere in the eucalyptus trees. We followed a sandy path along the Souss River, passing fishermen waving from the bank. There was this salty breeze coming off the water that made me wish I’d brought a scarf.

Hassan pointed out the royal palace across the river — not something you see every day. He told us stories about growing up nearby, how he learned every twist of these trails as a kid. At one point, my friend tried to get her camel to “smile” for a photo (it did not cooperate), and we all cracked up. The sun kept dropping lower, painting everything warm orange. I didn’t expect to feel so calm up there — it’s quieter than you’d think, except for when someone’s camel decides to sneeze.

Back at the ranch, we were met with mint tea and these sweet pastries that flaked apart in your fingers. Dinner was outside under string lights — salads first, then couscous piled high with vegetables and smoky barbecue chicken. I’m still thinking about that lemony salad dressing. People lingered over fruit and lemonade while kids from the family who runs the ranch darted around us laughing. It felt like being let into someone’s backyard party more than anything formal.
