Camel Trek through the coast line 8 days

Camel trek through the Atlantic coast line 8 days/ 5 days with camels

Morocco is famous for many things such as the imposing

Atlas Mountains, exotic souks of Marrakech and its rich Arabic/Berber culture. Less well-known is its spectacular Atlantic coastline. Our relaxed one-week trip follows coastal paths to the attractive town of Essouira.

On the way we pass secluded fishing villages, Argan tree orchards, deserted sandy beaches and rocky cliff tops.As a constant companion we have splendid views and the roar of the crashing surf of the Atlantic Ocean.

The trip is led by one of our experienced local guides, assisted by camp and cook staff, and a caravan of camels to carry our luggage. We end the trip with some relaxing free time in both Essouira and Marrakech.
