This Agafay sunset camel ride is a gentle evening in the desert just 45 minutes from Marrakech. You are picked up around 4 pm, stop in a small Berber village to see how argan oil is made, then mount your camel for a ride of about an hour across the Agafay hills as the sun goes down behind the plateau.
After mint tea and sunset photos comes a buffet dinner at the camp, with local music and a traditional fire show under the stars, before the drive back to Marrakech. It suits families, couples and first-time riders alike — see our camel trekking tips.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you book
How much does this activity cost?
This activity starts from €25 per person. The final price depends on your date and the size of your group: send us your date and number of people on WhatsApp (+212 661-757505) and we confirm the price quickly. Payment is in cash on the day, in dirhams or euros.
How long is the camel ride in Agafay?
Usually about an hour in the saddle, which is the right length for a first camel ride. Longer treks with a stop at a camp for tea can be arranged.
Is riding a camel difficult or uncomfortable?
The only awkward moments are when the camel stands up and kneels down, which a handler talks you through. Once walking, the pace is slow and steady. Long trousers are much more comfortable than shorts.
Can children and older travellers ride?
Yes. A handler leads each camel on foot the whole way, so no riding experience is needed. Small children ride with an adult, and anyone who prefers not to mount can walk alongside.
What time does the sunset ride start?
It shifts with the season, roughly an hour and a half before sunset, so late afternoon in winter and early evening in summer. The exact time is confirmed the day before.
Is the camel ride better in Agafay or in the Sahara?
Agafay gives you the experience in an afternoon, with the Atlas as a backdrop. Merzouga gives you tall sand dunes and a night in the desert, but needs at least three days.
What should I wear for a camel trek?
Long trousers, closed shoes and a hat or scarf. The sun on open stone is strong right up to sunset, and the temperature drops quickly afterwards, so bring a layer.
