The camel combination on this site is a Marrakech By Air listing. The balloon part is the operator’s standard morning: pickup, a small breakfast at the launch site, the flight, a Berber breakfast in a tent and a certificate. The camel ride follows in the Palmeraie, the palm grove on the north side of Marrakech, before you are taken back to your hotel.

About this flight

This is the Marrakech By Air morning with a camel ride added, in the Palmeraie on the way back into town. Before the flight there is a small breakfast at the launch site; after landing, a Berber breakfast in a tent.

Reviews describe it as short, so treat it as an extra rather than the main event. The weight rule matches the operator's other flight: 110 kg, heavier guests ask first.

About this flight

Marrakech By Air collects you from your hotel and serves a small breakfast at the launch site while the crew inflates the balloon. After the flight there is a Berber breakfast in a tent, followed by the flight certificate.

The product page lists the camel ride and a guide under not included. If you want the camel, the same operator sells a separate listing with a camel ride in the Palmeraie. Passengers can weigh up to 110 kg; heavier guests have to contact the operator before booking.

What’s included

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off
  • Small breakfast before the flight
  • Hot air balloon flight
  • Berber breakfast in a tent
  • Flight certificate
  • Insurance

Not included

  • Camel ride
  • Guide

Pickup and meeting point

Pickup from your hotel in Marrakech early in the morning. The time slot shown at booking is not the pickup time; the confirmed time follows after booking.

Know before you go

  • Maximum weight 110 kg per passenger; heavier guests contact the operator before booking (extra fee possible)
  • Minimum age 3 years

Not suitable for

  • Children under 3
  • Children under 90 cm
  • People with heart problems

Taken from the operator’s product page on the booking platform.

Three options on the camel listing

The booking page of the camel listing carries three options. The one compared here is “Balloon Flight, Berber Breakfast, and Camel Ride”. Next to it are “Balloon Flight, Berber Breakfast, and no Camel Ride” and a viewing ticket called “Only Hot Air Balloon Views - No Flight”, which sets the low starting price of the listing. Check the option name before you pay.

How long the camel ride lasts

The listing does not say. Reviewers describe it as a short ride, a stop on the way back rather than a trek, so plan it as an extra to the balloon and not as a second activity. The whole morning is listed at four to five hours, about as long as the plain flight.

The camels

Some travellers have written about how the camels are kept while they wait for riders. If animal welfare matters to you, look at the animals and their tethering when you arrive; nothing obliges you to ride, and the balloon part of the morning stays the same.

Limits that apply to both parts

Marrakech By Air sets 110 kg per passenger on both listings; heavier guests contact the operator before booking, and an extra fee is possible. On both listings, children under three and people with heart problems are listed as not suitable. A guide is not included on either listing, and one reviewer from Spain found no one on the morning who spoke Spanish.

A longer camel ride in Agafay

If the camel is the main point, longer rides are sold in the stony Agafay desert south-west of Marrakech, where balloons no longer fly according to Moroccan press reports. Half-day trips to Agafay are compared on Marrakech Escapes, and fit the afternoon after a morning flight.

Passengers on the balloon and camel morning

Guests on the camel listing name their pilots, Reda, Vu and Lina, and two guests on the plain flight of the same operator describe the same morning. One loved the flight but waited a long time on the ground without news.
