One-day camel ride with lunch

A real opportunity to spend a whole 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 species that has crossed deserts for thousands of kilometers, 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 will also 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.

A free shuttle will be at your disposal, meeting you in one of the following collection points: Moulay Hassan Square, Bab Marrakech, Bab Doukkala. You can also designate another collection point in the city, so that our driver can pick you up and bring you back at the end of the activity in the right place.

For those who are motorized, it will be easy to reach the Ranch de Diabat, located only 3 km from the city centre. You will be sent the map and the GPS point by email, and you will be able to park quietly in the private parking of the Ranch.

When arriving at the reception, you will be welcomed by our staff, who will introduce you to your guide.

This walk is suitable for adults and even small children, who will be able to ride on the same dromedary as their parents at a reduced rate.

Your guide will explain to you how to get on the dromedaries, which are already in a seated position ready to take you for a ride. With the help of the footrest, you can easily get on the comfortable saddle, designed and manufactured by the Ranch de Diabat for the maximum comfort of our clients during the ride.

Once on the dromedary, you will head out in a caravan towards the beautiful and lush forest of mimosa and eucalyptus trees, where you can meet many land tortoises, collect the berries and leaves of the eucalyptus tree to make a decoction and balsamic vapours for use in case of colds.

The terrain in this forest is sandy and full of ups and downs, sometimes leading you into small hollows and others up hills overlooking the enchanting view, a true paradise for the eyes.

Then, to the dunes and the beautiful beach, where you will experience the thrill of walking in the ocean water from above these majestic animals with their long, dynamic legs.

On the shoreline at low tide you will find freshwater springs bubbling up, where semi-wild animals go to drink every day and where your dromedary friends can quench their thirst.

Nearby you will notice wooden huts, which serve as seasonal homes for local fishermen, who often offer fresh fish at a reasonable price, and if you wish you can buy it and grill it in the evening.

To round off the beautiful day is a picnic lunch that you will take with you in your saddlebags, consisting of: a varied salad, chicken kebabs to be cooked at lunchtime, seasonal fruit, bread, water and soft drinks, and of course  moroccan tea freshly prepared over a wood fire.

The vegetarian menu consists of: a variety of salads, zaalouk (Moroccan aubergine appetizer), courgette balls, bread, water and soft drinks, and tea prepared freshly over a wood fire.

Continuing in a southerly direction, you will come to an enchanting sea of huge sand dunes, with a lighthouse in the distance called Cap Sim. A place with great natural energy, where you can admire large sand dunes and a beautiful forest, and on the opposite side the ocean as far as the eye can see.

Continuing in a northerly direction, you can admire the Portuguese Castle and get a close-up view of Mogador Island with its mosque and old prison. From here, along the banks of the Qassob River, you will visit the Palace of Sultan Moulay Abdallah, which was the setting for several films and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
