When considering a camel ride in Morocco, many travelers are drawn to the iconic images of dunes, camels, and sunset skies—this tour aims to bring that to life.

The Landscape and Scenic Views
The terrain in Agadir’s surroundings is what makes this experience special. Some reviews mention that the landscape wasn’t as dreamy as expected, but for others, the views of the dunes and sunset are breathtaking. The timing of the ride is key—aim for a late afternoon slot to catch the sunset, which paints the sky with vibrant colors, ideal for photos or just soaking in the moment.
However, a few guests were disappointed that the sunset was not visible during their ride. It’s wise to check the timing or ask beforehand if the sunset will be a highlight on your specific day. The landscape can vary, and some might encounter less picturesque views or dusty terrains, which is worth considering if your photo opportunities are a priority.
The Camel Ride Experience
The camel ride itself is generally described as fun and different—definitely a bucket-list activity. Guides often lead multiple riders at once, providing tips for a safe and comfortable ride. Some reviewers mention longer rides with plenty of photo stops, while others note the ride can be bumpy—so comfortable shoes are a good idea.
The small group sizes (often around 6-10 people) facilitate a more personal experience, with guides happy to assist or share tidbits about Moroccan culture. Yet, some reviews reveal that not all guides explained the tour thoroughly, which can be a missed opportunity for deeper insight.
The Sunset and Dinner
As the camel ride winds down, you’ll arrive at a designated area for the barbecue dinner. Guests consistently praise the delicious food, with many saying it was more than enough and of good quality. The dinner typically involves a mix of Moroccan dishes, often grilled meats, salads, and bread, served in a relaxed, scenic setting.
While most reviews mention dining under the stars, a few note that the dinner was indoors, and the sunset wasn’t visible. That inconsistency is partly due to weather or timing, so if catching the sunset is a priority, double-check with the provider.
