Golden Hour: Unforgettable Desert Sunset Camel Journey

A really great experience! Super kind guide who picked us up from the city, gave us special clothing and took us to an amazing ride through the dunes where we had a break with fresh tea, olives, bread and cookies. He told us a lot about his animals and you can feel that he really cares a lot about (we saw some other guides with tourist who obviously didn’t care a thing about the animals). We finished our ride along the beach with the sunset and it was perfect!

Amazing experience with mustafa. Very warm, knowledgeable and engaging. My dromedary (sultan) was just great. We stopped for tea, bread and some sweet treats. Watching the sunset with while riding was an unforgettable experience. You will also get some great pics from Mustafa. Highly recommend you try this on your trip to Essaouira, it's an experience you will cherish forever.

Our tour guide was Mostafa. He is a wonderful person and extremely dedicated to his job. At his advice, we started our trip 30-minutes ahead of schedule. At the meeting point he found me before I finished writing my message. Midway in our ride, he cooked tea at a site away from the ocean gust and we shared stories before we rode along the beach with the sunset in our background. When the temperature dropped he pulled out blankets for us to use poncho. Throughout this three-hours journey, Mostafa stopped our family of four at different spots to take pictures. As we rode in the sunset, Mostafa worked more like a movie director or cameraman than a camel ride guide. When we finished our ride in three hours at where we started, the sunset also completed at the same time. That’s the reason for Mostafa to requested us starting ahead of schedule. So Mostafa made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. This excursion easily became the highlight of our five-days trip to Essaouira.

This was the only tour we booked ahead, drawn by the lure of a camel on the beach at sunset. What we received was so much more. Mostafa is as warm heated as he is enterprising and gave us a really warm welcome and wonderful experience, complete with mint tea over à fire in the forest and homemade treats. His camels are well cared for, well-behaved and his explanations of the land and people were engaging. We will definitely do this again. Don’t hesitate, treat yourself to the experience.

An unforgettable experience! Mostofa is an animated, warm, knowledgeable guide, full of humor and generosity. My daughter and I had a magical afternoon on Sultan and Mamoun (dromedaries, not camels) as they strode over the sand dunes into the eucalyptus groves where we dismounted for a delicious snack of bread (made by Mostada's mother which he then toasted on the open fire), olives, argan oil, and pastries made by his sisters. We then rode back by the beach as the sun set. Of all the places you can ride a camel/dromedary in Morocco, I feel this is the most spectacular and varied because of the gorgeous stretch of dunes, beach, and ocean. Couldn't recommend this experience more highly!

Mostafa was a delight in every possible way. From his evident love of and respect for his dromedaries to his tea service with his Mom’s delicious bread and luscious Argan oil dip and his sisters’ cookies to his incredible photography all along the way, we were beyond happy! I would highly recommend him to be your guide!

We had great experience with Lima's sunset camel ride. He is not only a very skillful camel diver, but also a wonderful photographer. The video he made for us impressed everyone. During the tea break in the wood, he shared his story about life and family, we felt the gold in the heart of a good man, which is a surprising bonus we brought back from the trip. It will be a life long memory. Thank you !

This was an amazing experience with an amazing tour guide Beautiful photos of the family in the sunset Lima Dromadaire is 100% the best and plan to come again and experience the overnight camping

Brilliant ride out, both our dromedaries were friendly and well kept. The ride was really comfortable and well padded. Our guide Mostafa was friendly, spoke excellent English and French, took fabulous pictures for us all, and made the best tea I had in all of our time in Morocco, which he served with beautiful bread made by his mother and warmed on a camp fire. The ride was supposed to be 3 hours but took nearly 4. My son and I both throughly enjoyed this, I have never paddled in the sea on the back of a dromedary before. A great and memorable experience. Thank you.

It was a pleasant ride with Abdoul. The camels were super calm and I had wonderful trips Highlight was making tea over fire in the woods.
