According to information provided by the UK-based Born Free Foundation, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that riding a camel will hurt it. Camels are known as the ‘ships of the desert’, and are used to living and working in extreme conditions. Camels are used to travelling up to 25 miles (40km) a day, can carry up to 1,300 pounds (590kg), and can survive for up to 10 days without water.
No more than two people can ride a camel at any one time. For health and safety reasons, many companies will specify that only two children or one adult should be sitting on a camel when camel trekking.
Most camel treks in the Moroccan Sahara Desert last between an hour and an hour and a half. Typically, a group will leave from a hotel on the edge of the desert and will trek through the dunes being led by guides and camel handlers until arriving at the campsite. It is possible to ride camels for shorter periods at many other locations in the country.
Yes, children can go camel trekking in the Sahara too! Children from about 10 years old upwards may feel confident enough to ride a camel alone, and this is fine. However, younger children or older children who would like to may also ride a camel with a parent for support. Most companies will allow an adult and a child to ride a camel together.
If you are thinking to visit the Sahara Desert in Morocco, the Southeastern Morocco is the most accessible area of the Sahara. The Draa Valley – a green valley of palm groves, authentic Kasbahs (fortified houses) and Berber villages – was the traditional starting point of 50-day trans-Saharan camel caravans to Timbuktu. Today, camel trekking to the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga is the best option with many travelers referring to their visit as the most recommended.
Yes, it is possible to ride a camel with only one hump. The dromedary (one-humped) camel allows a rider to sit in front of, on top of, or behind the hump; the Bactrian (two-humped) camel is saddled between humps.
Camels have quite a long life expectancy, and can live for between 40 and 50 years. One of the reasons for this is their hardiness, and another is the fact that the camel has no natural predators in the wild.
Camels are known for their rather ‘pungent aroma’! The reason camels smell bad is because they pee on their legs – this is a technique they use to help cool themselves down in the heat of the Sahara Desert.
