The Experience

It’s not every day you find yourself climbing onto a dromedary just outside Agadir. The ranch is about ten minutes from the city center—close enough for an easy pickup, but far enough that you can actually hear the birds instead of car horns. Our guide, Youssef, greeted us with a quick smile and handed out blue scarves to keep the sun off our necks. The camels looked calm, almost sleepy, chewing quietly as we got a short lesson on how to sit and hold on (hint: lean back when they stand up—it’s a weird feeling at first!).

The ride took us along sandy tracks through Aghroud Bensergao village and into a patch of eucalyptus trees. There was this fresh, almost minty smell in the air—probably from the leaves crushed under the camels’ feet. We passed a tiny roadside stall where two kids waved at us, their hands sticky from orange slices. When we reached the mouth of the Souss river, we stopped for photos. If you’re lucky with the tide, you might spot flamingos wading around; we caught sight of a few white egrets instead. On the way back, my legs felt wobbly but in a good way—like after riding a bike for too long.

Back at the ranch, there was mint tea waiting (sweet, hot, poured from high up) and homemade cakes—apparently baked by someone in the family who’s been cooking longer than I’ve been alive. No one tried to sell us carpets or souvenirs; it was just quiet chatter and crumbs on our fingers. Honestly, it felt like visiting someone’s home rather than being herded through another tourist trap.

Top questions

Can children join the camel ride?

Yes! Kids under 12 ride with a parent for safety. Babies need a carrier and sit in front of mom or dad on the camel.

What should I wear for the camel trek?

Avoid flip flops and short skirts—they’re not practical for riding camels. Closed shoes and comfy clothes are best.

Is there any shopping or pressure to buy things?

Nope! This tour doesn’t include any craft center visits or forced shopping stops—just riding and relaxing.

What happens if it rains?

If it rains, trips are canceled for safety since camels can slip on wet ground due to their flat feet.

Are snacks included?

Yes! You’ll get Moroccan mint tea and homemade cakes back at the ranch after your ride.
