A real opportunity to spend a day in contact with docile, intelligent animals and their trainer.
You will be able to observe how they are trained and understand the ancestral essence of a breed that has crossed deserts for thousands of kilometres, tireless and always at their owner's side. The saddle we have patented is of absolute comfort so that you can sit comfortably and, at the same time, enjoy the unique landscape.
On leaving the Ranch de Diabat, a route through unspoilt nature awaits you, with enchanting landscapes.
The mimosa and eucalyptus forest, the large dunes that stand majestically in front of the ocean, the freshwater springs, the fishermen's village, the towering dunes of Cap Sim: these are just some of the sights you will encounter along the way.
An excellent picnic can be enjoyed along the way, with a break in the midst of nature.
You can admire Mogador Island, the Portuguese Castle and the Black Sultan's Palace.
The dromedary is a peaceful animal, accessible to all, and will enable you to spend a good time with family or friends.
