The Palmeraie — Camel Riding, Hot Air Balloons & Desert Activities

The Palmeraie (the palm grove of Marrakech — the large area of date palms (Phoenix dactylifera) on the northeastern outskirts of the city, covering approximately 13,000 hectares and containing an estimated 100,000 date palms, traditionally associated with the legend that Almoravid soldiers planted the dates they had brought from the Sahara on the site): the Palmeraie is the primary destination for tourist activities in Marrakech — camel (dromedary) riding through the palm groves, quad biking, horse riding, and (from March-November on calm mornings) hot-air ballooning over the city and the Atlas Mountains — the finest way to see the relationship between Marrakech, the Palmeraie, and the Atlas.
