12 Half-Day Tours in Morocco to Build a Day Around

1.Half-Day Desert Quad Tour with Camel Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,398 reviews · 4 hours · from $34Our pick

Ride camels through Marrakech’s palm-filled desert, visit a Berber village, and race quad bikes across dusty tracks on this four-hour tour.

“It was a good trip! Definitely worth the price. All staff members were lovely! Had so much fun quad biking it was truly the highlight of the day. However the camels are quite vocal and do not seem that happy and makes you feel quite bad when riding. In addition you have to be very comfortable with animals as there was a camels head constantly rubbing against my leg. Once you get into the camel riding it is very tranquil. TIP - Ladies avoid using the toilet at all costs!”

Review of Marrakech’s private half-day tour, covering palaces, souks, the Medina, private transport, costs, guides, and booking tips.

“Our guide Mohamed was fabulous and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately our problem was with Viator/tour company. We booked this tour and paid for the upgrade package because we were told on the telephone by a Viator agent that this package included entrance fees to all attractions. The photographs showed the YSL gardens/museum and I asked if this was included when I booked over the telephone whilst I was still in the UK. The Viator agent put me on hold whilst she contacted the tour company. She came back to me and said she gave us her 100% reassurance that this was included, so we booked over the telephone. When we were…”
