About this experience
The 2-hours dromedary ride will start at Diabat, a little village near Essaouira.
This is an activity that is very suitable for families, even with small children.
The dromedaries are all controlled by one of our experienced guides, so no previous experience is required.
The dromedary is a peaceful animal and its rhythmic rocking motion is almost meditative.
You will have the opportunity to observe the fauna and flora during the ride. For example, you can see turtles and watch birds. We pass through the eucalyptus forest and can discover other typical plants. Our guide can explain a lot to you if you are interested.
It is possible to do this activity from the morning 9:00 until sunset.
