We had a great time on the camel ride in Agadir, and the overall experience was wonderful. The ride itself was a unique and enjoyable experience, especially if you’ve never been on a camel before. The camels were well-chosen for us, and the journey was peaceful, offering some fantastic views. The addition of a meal to wrap up the day is definitely a nice touch, and the price for the whole experience is a great deal.
However, there were a few timing issues that impacted the overall experience. The driver messaged us earlier in the day to confirm a 4:30 PM pick-up, but they arrived around 4:50 PM, which wasn’t a huge issue. The bigger problem came when we arrived at the site. The booking stated the ride was a "sunset" ride, but the actual sunset wouldn't happen until around 7:45 PM, long after the ride was finished. By the time the ride ended, we had some mint tea in a hut, had the option to purchase photos, and were then taken to the dinner location—only to arrive after the sunset had already passed. I think the company could improve by either starting the ride later to better align with the sunset or by not advertising it as a "sunset ride."
There also seemed to be a bit of a mix-up with the meal inclusion. The staff weren’t informed that our meal was included, so if I hadn’t spoken up, we would’ve been taken straight back to the hotel. Once that was sorted, though, the food was delicious. We even had a cute little cat try to steal our food, which added a bit of charm without being overbearing.
Overall, while there were a few hiccups with timing and communication, the camel ride itself was fantastic, and the price for the experience, including the meal, made it all worth it. I’d still recommend this experience for anyone visiting Agadir, but I’d advise the company to reconsider the timing and communication to make the experience even better.
