Embark on a half-day adventure in Marrakech and explore the palm groves on a camel ride. Discover the history of the area and enjoy a refreshing glass of mint tea with a local Berber family.
- Jemaa el-Fnaa - Leave the hustle and bustle of Marrakech behind and go on a half-day adventure. According to legend, this area was the site of a military camp, where, in the evenings, soldiers ate dates that had been carried from the pre-Saharan oases. The discarded pits fell into holes left by lances that had been thrust in the ground and so the palm groves of Marrakech were planted.
Donning your “cheich” (protective turban veil), you and your new camel friend will trek safely through the palm groves past villas, luxury properties and Berber homes. Sit back with a refreshing glass of mint tea at the home of one of the local Berber families before heading back to the city.

Escape the vibrant chaos of Marrakech with a half-day outing. As the story goes, this region was once a military base. Soldiers, during their night-time rest, consumed dates transported from pre-Saharan oasis regions. The leftover seeds from these dates were discarded into the lance-made holes in the earth, paving the way for the creation of Marrakech’s lush palm groves.
Suiting up with your ‘cheich’ (a safeguarding turban veil), you’ll embark on a secure journey with your camel companion through the palm-studded landscape, passing by plush villas, high-end estates, and authentic Berber houses. Conclude your tour with a revitalizing glass of mint tea at a traditional Berber household, before traveling back to the metropolis.
