Few things suit the Atlantic coast better than a slow camel ride as the afternoon light softens. Rides take place on the shore and in the sandy landscapes around Agadir and Taghazout, at a walking pace that leaves time to take in the sea, the wind and the long horizon.
Highlights
An unhurried pace
Camels walk; the experience is about stillness, not speed.
Atlantic views
Wide beaches and rocky coves are the natural setting.
Golden-hour light
Late-afternoon rides are especially beautiful for photographs.
Suitable for most ages
A gentle option for families and first-timers — ask us about your group.
What to expect
A handler leads the camels and helps you mount and dismount. The ride follows the shore or nearby sandy terrain, and you return to the starting point afterwards. Let us know if you prefer a quiet, private outing.
Good to know
- Long trousers make the ride more comfortable; bring sun protection and a light layer for the sea breeze.
- Mounting involves the camel rising in two steps — hold on and lean back as instructed.
- Mention any mobility concerns when you write so we can advise honestly.
Where it is
Camel rides are offered along the coast around Agadir and the villages to the north, such as Taghazout, where the beaches open onto the Atlantic.
Questions
Is a camel ride suitable for children?
