Camel Riding in Sidi Kaouki
A camel ride is a slow, easy way to see the beach. It suits families and people who want a calm activity.
What to Expect
Camel rides go at a walking pace, usually with a guide leading the camel. You sit on a saddle on the camel's back.
Getting on and off is the trickiest part. The camel kneels down so you can get on. When it stands up, it moves its back legs first, so you tip forward and then back. Hold on tight and lean back a little.
Ask the provider how long the ride is and whether children can ride with an adult.
Animal Welfare
Choose rides where the camels look healthy, have shade and water, and are not overloaded. Saddles should be padded and fit well.
We aim to work only with providers who treat their animals well. If you see a problem, please tell us.
Who It Is For
Camel rides suit families, older travellers and anyone who prefers a calm activity. You do not need any experience. Tell the provider if you have back problems.
Want something faster? Try horse riding on the beach.
