The experience
About this tour
A camel ride in Agadir is a calm, slow-paced way to see a different side of the area — away from the beach and the hotels. You'll ride from a ranch near the King's Palace through a eucalyptus forest until you reach the banks of the Souss River, a protected nature reserve where pink flamingos and migratory birds are often spotted.
The ride lasts about an hour and follows a gentle loop. The sunset departures are the most popular — you stop at a good viewpoint as the sun drops toward the Atlantic, and your guide helps take photos.
After the ride, you're back at the ranch for mint tea and Moroccan snacks. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from Agadir, Taghazout and Tamraght. No previous riding experience is needed.
