Description
Conditions and price details
You will spend half a day riding a dromedary, guided by an exceptional master; it will be one of the most memorable experiences of your holiday.
You will observe how these gentle animals are trained, understanding the ancestral essence of a breed that has crossed deserts for thousands of kilometers, tireless and always by their owner’s side.
The saddle we have patented offers absolute comfort, allowing you to sit comfortably while enjoying a unique landscape.
Starting from Ranch de Diabat, you will enter the forest of mimosa and eucalyptus, then reach the large dunes majestically overlooking the ocean. Descending to the shoreline, you can observe fresh water springs emerging from the ground and meet the fishermen who seasonally live nearby.
Heading north, you will pass in front of the beautiful Island of Mogador and the Portuguese Castle, then follow the banks of the Qsob River and arrive at the magnificent Palace of the Black Sultan.
Program
For those with their own transport, reaching Ranch de Diabat is easy, located just 3 km from the city center. A map and GPS coordinates will be sent by email, and you can park safely in the Ranch’s private parking lot.
Your guide will explain how to mount the dromedaries, which will be ready to carry you on a ride while seated; with the help of the footrest step, you can easily mount the comfortable saddle, designed and manufactured by Ranch de Diabat for maximum comfort during the ride.
Once mounted on the dromedary, you will travel in a caravan towards the beautiful and lush forest of mimosa and eucalyptus, where you may encounter many land turtles and gather berries and eucalyptus leaves to make a decoction and balsamic vapors to use in case of a cold.
The terrain in this forest is sandy and full of ups and downs, sometimes leading you into small hollows and other times onto hills that overlook the enchanting view, a true paradise for the eyes.
You will continue towards the dunes and the beautiful beach, where you can experience the thrill of walking in the ocean water atop these majestic animals with long, dynamic legs.
At low tide on the shoreline, you will find fresh water springs where semi-wild animals come to drink daily and where your dromedary friends can quench their thirst.
Nearby, you will notice wooden huts that serve as seasonal homes for local fishermen, who often offer fresh fish at reasonable prices. If you wish, you can purchase it and grill it in the evening.
Continuing north, you can admire the Portuguese Castle and see up close the Island of Mogador with its mosque and ancient prison. From here, following the banks of the Qassob River, you will visit the Palace of Sultan Moulay Abdallah, which has been the setting for several films and is now part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
Remember that the dromedary is a calm animal; the ride takes place in a caravan, one behind the other. The saddles are comfortable, and wearing a protective helmet is not necessary. The route passes through interesting historical and natural sites and is designed to admire the landscape and nature, learn about history and some fascinating anecdotes, and connect with the natural and ethological way of training this gentle animal.
