Camel ride Essaouira Program

A free shuttle will be at your disposal, meeting you in one of the following collection points: Moulay Hassan Square, Bab Marrakech, Bab Doukkala. You can also designate another collection point in the city, so that our driver can pick you up and bring you back at the end of the activity in the right place. For those who are motorized, it will be easy to reach the Ranch de Diabat, located only 3 km away from the city center. You will be sent the map and the GPS point by email, and you will be able to park quietly in the private parking of the Ranch. When arriving in the Reception, you will be welcomed by our staff, who will introduce you to your guide. Please note that this walk is suitable for adults and even small children, who will be able to ride on the same dromedary as their parents at a reduced rate. Your guide will explain you how to get on the dromedaries, which are already in a seated position, ready to take you for the ride. With the help of the footrest, you can easily climb onto the comfortable saddle, designed and manufactured by the Ranch de Diabat for the maximum comfort of its clients during the ride. Once in the saddle of the dromedary, you will ride in a caravan towards the beach, along the banks of the Qassob river. You will visit the Palace of Sultan Moulay Abdallah, which has been the setting for several films and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your guide will be able to give you many historical explanations of this monument, and he will also be able to take several photographs as a souvenir of this beautiful experience. You will continue to the dunes and the beautiful beach, where you can experience the thrill of walking in the ocean water from above these majestic animals with their long and dynamic legs.

To remember : the dromedary is a peaceful animal, the walk is organized in a caravan formation, one behind the other, the saddles are comfortable, it is not necessary to wear a protective helmet, the itinerary touches on interesting historical and naturalistic points and is made to admire the landscape and nature, to learn about history and some interesting anecdotes, and to come into contact with the way we have to train our beautiful animals, in a natural and ethological way.
