Marrakech: Half-Day Desert Quad Tour with Camel Ride

1.Half-Day Desert Quad Tour with Camel Ride

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

This four-hour Marrakech outing combines a one-hour dromedary ride, nomadic clothing, tea with bread, honey, and olives, and a two-hour quad-bike trip. Guides such as Fouad, Mustapha, Zidane, and Jamal are praised for patient instruction, safety checks, and excellent photos.

“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!”

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.
