The experience

The tour opens at Cap Spartel, the northernmost point of Africa, where a lighthouse sits on a rocky outcrop and the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet in a single view. A scenic drive through forests and rolling hills gets you there, and once the light starts to fade, you head toward Achakkar Beach to meet the camels. The ride itself follows the shoreline and moves through nearby forests, timed so you're on the sand when the sun hits the horizon.

After the camel ride, the group walks into Perdicaris park, where a barbecue is already set up. This is where the evening slows down: you eat grilled meat and vegetables, drink coffee or tea, and sit with other travelers and locals who share stories and traditions. The meal is unhurried, and there's time to photograph the light and the company before the tour ends. Soda, bottled water and WiFi are included throughout.

Is this one for you?The fixed three-hour evening window means you catch the sunset on the camel and finish with dinner while the light is still good, so the timing of both moments is built in rather than left to chance.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 11 years); Infant (under 4): free.

What is Cap Spartel and why does the tour start there?

Cap Spartel is a rocky headland at Africa's northernmost tip, crowned by a lighthouse. It's the point where the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea meet, and the tour begins there so you see the dual coastline and learn the region's history before heading to the beach for the camel ride.

How does the camel ride work at Achakkar Beach?

You ride a camel along the sandy shoreline and through nearby forests, timed to happen as the sun sets. The ride is part of the evening sequence, so you're on the beach when the light is at its best.

What happens after the camel ride?

You walk into Perdicaris park, where a traditional barbecue dinner is waiting. The meal is cooked over a fire, and you eat with other travelers and friendly locals in an unhurried setting before the tour ends.

Is transportation from my hotel included?

Pickup is included in at least one of the available options, so confirm which option you select at checkout. An air-conditioned vehicle handles all transport during the tour.
