The 2-hour dromedary walk is the perfect excursion for beginners, groups with children, or groups of friends.
The duration of this tour is ideal for familiarising yourself with the animal, a calm and docile companion. The dromedary invites you to take a leisurely stroll around the village of Diabat, near Essaouira.
A beautiful route skirting the banks of the Oued Qsob, with its seasonal migratory birds, until you reach the beautiful Black Sultan's Palace.
We will continue at a leisurely pace towards the mimosa and eucalyptus forest before arriving at the magnificent long beach to the south of town, from where we can admire the island of Mogador and the Portuguese Castle, an ancient lookout for approaching ships.
The dromedary is a peaceful animal, accessible to all, and he will allow you to spend a good time with family or friends.
