Itinerary
Day 1
Private sunset camel ride with Berber tea — relaxed pacing for couples, timed for golden hour.
Meet your guide at Eden Andalou Suites, Aquapark & Spa
Gather in the hotel lobby for a quick introduction to your local guide and camel team. Staff will confirm camel assignments and provide a brief safety/orientation talk.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the guide to point out the best seat pairings on the camels so you can sit side-by-side for photos.
- Carry a light wrap or shawl — April evenings can cool quickly once the sun dips behind the palms.
- If you want a quieter transfer, request the first seating in the minivan to avoid late arrivals and have a calm start.
Air‑conditioned transfer to the Palmeraie (La Palmeraie)
Short scenic drive from the hotel to the edge of Marrakech's Palmeraie in an included minivan. Your guide will point out local landmarks en route.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit on the side of the minivan that faces the palms for the best pre-arrival photos as the light changes.
- If you prefer a private transfer back after the activity, confirm with the guide before departure — many couples upgrade for more flexibility.
- Keep camera/phone handy and charged; the approach through the palms offers framed shots of the oasis before the ride starts.
Guided sunset camel ride through La Palmeraie
Lead your camel through thousands of palm trees while the guide shares local history; pause at a vantage point to watch the sunset from camel-back — an intimate golden-hour moment for couples.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your guide to time the main photo stop so you watch the sun dip together from the camel's viewpoint — it's the 'special moment' of the tour.
- For flattering photos, face slightly into the light (sun behind you or at a 45° angle) and use the palms as a natural frame.
- Hold onto the saddle handle and keep movement slow during sunset stops — camels can be curious; staying calm keeps the moment romantic and relaxed.
Visit a local Berber house for Moroccan mint tea and a snack
After the ride, visit a family-run Berber house within the Palmeraie area. Share a relaxed tea service with traditional sweets — a warm, personal cultural exchange ideal for couples.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a cozy seating spot (inside or on a terrace) so you can enjoy a private tea moment together; guides can arrange a quieter corner for couples.
- Try the mint tea poured from height — it's theatrical and makes for a lovely video memory; ask the host about the tea's symbolism.
- Bring a small gift (e.g., postcards from home or a bar of artisanal chocolate) if you'd like to express thanks to the family — it’s appreciated and creates a personal connection.
Return transfer and drop-off (Eden Andalou Suites or central Marrakech on request)
Comfortable transfer back to your hotel or a central drop-off point in Marrakech. Use this time to relax and review photos with your partner.
Tips from local experts:
- If you want post-ride photos in atmospheric light near the city, ask the driver for a quick stop near an orange tree-lined avenue on the return.
- Confirm your preferred drop-off before the tour ends — many couples choose to be returned directly to their riad for a relaxed evening.
- If you'd like a dinner recommendation after the tour, ask your guide for a romantic riad restaurant nearby — they know quieter, candlelit options.
