Agadir Desert Camel Ride & Lunch Day Trip from City

Summary

Guided Camel Trek in Tifnit’s Sand Dunes with Berber Lunch

Ride camels through Tifnit’s golden dunes with a local guide, then share a traditional Moroccan lunch and sweet mint tea in a Berber restaurant. Expect real desert views, small moments with locals, and plenty of time to soak up Agadir’s wild side—the kind of day that sticks with you long after you’re home.

What’s the experience like?

We were already bouncing along the road out of Agadir before I’d even finished my coffee. The city faded fast—suddenly it was just us, the van, and these wide open stretches of scrub and sand. Our guide, Youssef, kept pointing out little things: “That’s argan growing wild,” he said once, and I remember the goats balancing in the branches like it was nothing special. The air smelled dry but sharp, almost like sun-baked hay.

The first time I saw the camels waiting by the dunes in Tifnit, I laughed—one of them had this lopsided grin. Mounting up is always awkward (I nearly lost a shoe), but once we started moving, it got quiet except for the soft pad of hooves on sand. The wind whipped at my scarf and I could taste salt from somewhere far off. Youssef told us stories about Berber families who’ve lived here for centuries. Honestly, I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed swaying along those ridges. At one point he stopped us at the top—just endless gold all around, sky so bright it hurt my eyes.

Lunch was in this low stone place that looked plain outside but inside smelled like cumin and fresh bread. We sat on cushions while they poured mint tea—sweet enough to make my teeth ache—and brought out tagine bubbling hot. Someone played music on a radio in another room; it mixed with laughter from the kitchen. After eating, we wandered a bit more through the dunes before heading back to Agadir. My shoes are still full of sand but honestly, I don’t mind.
