When visiting Morocco, riding a camel across the sand dunes is one of the most exhilarating experiences you may have.

Join one of our Morocco camel trekking trips for a journey across the spectacular Sahara Desert that you won’t soon forget.

So it should come as no surprise that camel treks are among the most popular activities in Morocco, a fascinating North African country that is dripping with allure, mysticism, and exotica and attracts tourists from all over the world to experience the rich and colorful Moroccan way of life.

It’s an opportunity to get up close to these steadfastly resilient animals that have helped the inhabitants of African desert regions for so long by carrying people and their belongings while hardly ever stopping to rest or drink. You’ll also get to experience the magical Sahara Desert from a different, elevated viewpoint.

It can be a little unsteady riding a camel, especially when they start to stand up. The towering thing begins to move, and it’s normal to feel a little worried that you could fall off and wonder how on earth you’re going to stay in position. Once you’re on board and your camel starts to get up, which it does with its back legs first, the secret is to lean back before moving forward as it lifts itself on its front legs. The best course of action is to just go with it and wobble around while hanging on to your saddle at all times. It takes some time to get used to the unusual stride.
