Palmeraie of Marrakech
نخيل مراكش
A palm oasis stretching for thousands of hectares to the north of the city, with camel rides and 4x4 buggy tours, and home to many luxury resorts.
According to legend, the palm grove grew from date pits discarded by the Almoravid army in the 11th century. Today it has more than 100,000 date palms, irrigated by ancient underground channels. Visitors often take half-day camel or buggy tours and watch the sunset among the palm trees. The area also has golf courses and many luxury resorts. It is about 20 minutes by car from the Old Town, a camel ride takes about 1 to 2 hours, and you should agree on the price in advance.
