Camel Trekking in Morocco : A Bumpy Ride with a View

First off, let’s talk camels. Camels are as incredible as they are a little ornery. Although they have the endurance of saints, they were made for the desert. They can easily slog through the Sahara’s endless dunes without breaking a sweat – something that only your legs may be able to achieve for barely an hour or so of riding. But don’t worry, it’s all part of the experience... You will be on a camel feeling like the king (or queen) of the desert while it ambles through the dunes. Now, you might be thinking, how hard can it be to ride a camel? Oh, it is a Himachal suspense type of hard, like being atop a rolling skyscraper... But don’t worry! After a few bumps, you will get used to the motion and suddenly be saying “Look at me, I’m a desert pro!” in no time.

Team Bonding, Desert Style

Now, this isn’t just about being one with the camels. Oh no, it’s also about bonding with your team. There is some strange beauty in witnessing for yourself the vastness of the open desert in the company of your team.

You will connect in quite the unique way when engaged in riding a camel together, be it for сreating memories, for gaining perspective on the absurdities of the world, or getting distracted by this rather troubling task of getting on a camel. Plus, when someone inevitably ends up with sand in every crevice of their body, you all share a light sigh of this is much better than boardroom meetings.

The Desert Sunset: Nature’s Own PowerPoint Presentation

After a few hours of accomplishing everything that should be done with a camel in the hands, it’s time to move on and participate in one of the most beautiful events of your life – the setting sun over the Sahara desert. Imagine this – the sky bright with a combination of deep crimson red, a tinge of pink and orange, the dunes all over the place, and your people around you. Not only is it the best view in the world, it is the view that gives you hope, that delusional sense where you are free from all the cares in the world including your job. Pure 100% unrefined magic. And yes the one instance where I can find myself depicting a character from Hollywood.

Return to Civilization (But With a New Perspective)

Once your group has experienced the serenity (and slight chaos) of the desert, you’ll return to civilization with memories to last a lifetime. But let’s be honest: nothing says "group incentive success" like a bunch of tired, happy people who’ve bonded over camels, sand, and an unforgettable sunset. Plus, you’ll all have one more thing in common: a deep appreciation for anyone who can handle riding a camel without making it look like a full-body workout.

So, pack your sense of adventure, leave your expectations at the door, and get ready to embark on a camel trek in Morocco that will have your team talking for years to come. Just don’t forget the sunscreen — the desert sun is as relentless as a camel on a mission.
