Camel Excursion in the tours

Camel Excursion will be from 15 mins to 20 minutes, or it can be up to an hour also. The time is not fixed because some guests want a short trip while some others want to spend eternity there. That’s why please inform your camel guide about your comfort level so that he can plan accordingly.

Usually, our camel guide, when finishing the trip, will show you different souvenirs handmade done by his family. So, instead of a tip, maybe its better to buy some of them so remember to bring a bit of pocket money. In all cases, it is not compulsory to buy or give a tip. For the shared tour, you need to gather around 12-15 people in order to experience a low load regarding the rates and making you even more affordable to reach your destination. Even if your tour may be private, you can be grouped together for the camel excursion with other guests in Kam Kam Dunes. If you really want to do the camel trek alone, let us know in advance so we can arrange it accordingly.

As it’s about privacy which matters to us, you don’t need to worry about anything. Our guides will serve you with the best hospitality and also they are fluent in any regional language you’ll prefer to communicate with them. Also, you can ask to halt on your way if you need to have your lunch or something. Also, they will take you to the destination in time and securely as well. All you need to do is just sit and enjoy the divine view.

How Many people in the shared minibus tour?

The Shared minibus tour is one of the popular parts of this stay. It is a good way to roam around & have a very nice view of the desert. At the same time, it is a comparatively cost-efficient method. For a person who wants to see the dunes up close, this can be the perfect opportunity. This tour would give them a vivid feel of the desert. Moreover, the people who are coming with the company will have a great time on such a tour.

But just the name implies the tour, in this case, is in fact “shared”. The number of passengers in this shared minibus tour can vary from 12 to 15 people. To be honest this number depends on different factors. What time of year it is, how the tourist pressure, and several other things are also coming to play in this case. Therefore if one is planning to have some quality time to himself, this tour is simply not a great idea for him. A very important thing to notice here is that not all the passengers on the mini-bus are from the same travel agencies. They do not stay at the same hotel and therefore they are not all in the same camp as well.

What are the hotels in Dades included in the tour?

We from Kam Kam Dunes collaborate with many hotels in different cities and so do we in Dades. Mentioned below are the hotels in Dades that we work with. If you want we can make detailed travel plans and book the required hotel if we collaborate with them. In such a case, we would call you and ask for your ideas and thoughts. Then we would incorporate those to make a detailed travel plan that would suit your needs the best. This can incorporate your meals, your hotels, the routes that you take, the transport method you use, the activities you take part in, and many more.

Therefore it is very important to mention that all these services mentioned above like the hotels and several means of transport, lunches, many activities would be counted as extra. And it will cost you accordingly as per the price in the market outside the cost of staying at the camp. A thing to note here is that if any customer asks for it specifically then booking can also be arranged outside these hotels that we work with.

I want a private driver / shared group to arrive at Kam Kam Dunes

We offer several travel plans on our website. If you are having difficulty finding one that suits your need then you should contact and we will do our best to find suitable transportation for you. The two main options in such a case is hiring a private driver or to come in shared groups. Both of these have their positives and negatives. The private driver who is also a guide is a great option if you do not mind spending a bit extra for luxury. In this case, the schedule is yours to set. You have an experienced guide and you can decide when and where to stop for meals or to do some sightseeing. Here the biggest priority is your comfort.

On the other hand, the shared bus service is a bit nice to your wallet, while maintaining the dunes charms. Therefore it is highly recommended for students. The bus itself is a bit more comfortable than regular public transports. One downside is that the bus picks up tourists from several stops and also drops them off at different places. Ultimately your checking in time will be a bit late and under some circumstances, you might even miss one or two activities.

Shared or private tour to Kam Kam Dunes? What to choose?

Few experiences in the world can replicate the inspirational nature of a night spent in the desert. And not to mention the sight of a setting sun as it reflects beautifully on the red dunes of Kam Kam. You absolutely need to see this mysterious place with your own eyes to appreciate it. And know how it feels exchanging chaotic Marrakech for a hidden gem in the desert. But then there is also more to consider. For example, should you choose an affordable shared option or a private tour to Kam Kam Dunes?

Truth is, both private and shared tours most certainly have their advantages. And either way, you will witness this stunning part of the world but it’s still worth knowing the difference between the two before you book. Here is a brief run down to help you organize an unforgettable experience.

TAKING A SHARED TOUR TO KAM KAM DUNES (RECOMMENDED FOR STUDENTS)

Taking a shared tour from Marrakech to Kam Kam Dunes allows travel agents around the city to combine groups and individuals (12-15 persons) to share costs. Also, this is an affordable way to reach Kam Kam Dunes. The bus itself is safe and slightly more comfortable than the regular public bus. But you will be mixed with other budget tours. Unfortunately, you need to collect other travelers from various points around the city.

Having stopped in a number of shops and souvenir stalls en-route, and visiting some interests sights like Ait Ben Hadu you should reach Kam Kam Dunes in the early evening and if you are staying for one night, the bus will return to Marrakech the next morning (Marrakech drop off in Jemaa elFnaa place). If your tour ends in Fez you will go with a shared Taxi.

– We recommend taking a 3 night 4 day tour if you want to enjoy more time in the desert.

– If you only do one night in Kam Kam Dunes on the Shared tour, usually cannot be done the optional ATV excursion, since this supplier is closed by the time the minibus leaves.

– The arrival in the desert is usually late so the camel ride will be done at sunrise.

Conclusion: Shared tours are a wonderful way to keep your budget in check. But it requires patience. It is great for students that don’t mind to share the transport with other tourists but want to sleep at the best places like Kam Kam Dunes. Unfortunately, this can also mean the shared option is not the most suitable for a one night stay as this late arrival results in a very limited amount of time in Kam Kam Dunes. If you go for the shared transport it is better to book for two nights at Kam Kam Dunes so that you can enjoy a full day at the desert.

CHOOSING A PRIVATE TOUR TO KAM KAM DUNES

Meet your tour driver/guide (English, Spanish, or French-speaking). And the private tour will pick up you in Marrakech early in the morning to reach Kam Kam Dunes. A private tour will also avoid any unnecessary stops in the route to make the journey fast and comfortable. But, you can stop for the sights and lunch at any time, and for as long as you please. Yes, the itinerary is all yours and with an experienced driver on hand, you can be sure of an enjoyable, stress-free ride and a lot more time to enjoy Kam Kam Dunes.

Conclusion: We know exactly why a private tour is a hassle-free and more enjoyable way to visit Kam Kam Dunes. Departing Marrakech without any delays, being flexible with the timetable, and visiting the sights. We fully realize that your journey to be here is just as important as the destination itself. And in this sense, the value of a private tour will always far outweigh any monetary cost place on it.
