DESCRIPTION

Marrakech: Camel Ride in the Palmeraie Oasis

Long before quads and buggies ever crossed this land, the camel was how you moved through it.

Slow, steady, swaying gently with every step — a camel ride through the Palmeraie oasis is less about the destination, and more about finally, properly, slowing down.
