Riding camels or dromedaries in the desert – Sahara Desert Tours

This is an ideal means of transportation for traveling in the desert. It is also used by nomadic tribes. Camels or dromedaries are the animals of choice for those who want to explore the vast expanse of the Moroccan Sahara in optimal conditions, without noise and vibration.

Some precautions must be observed. When the camel or dromedary stands up, it leans forward and backward. A passenger sitting comfortably in the leather saddle should hold the reins. Otherwise, you have to be careful not to fall over. Then allow yourself to become engrossed in the rhythmic and relaxed rocking of the animal. To avoid back pain after a day on the back of a camel or dromedary, it is best not to contract. However, once the camel or dromedary finds its rhythm of movement, its passenger calms down and can enjoy the pleasures of traveling through the desert.

Before going on a journey on a camel or dromedary in your Sahara desert tours, several precautions must be taken. First of all, you must protect yourself from the sun and the wind, which may rise unexpectedly. It is highly recommended to wear a hat or turban on your head so that only your eyes are visible.
