3.1-Hour Horse Ride with sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 19 reviews · 1 hour · from $56

Spend one hour on a Barb Arabian horse near Essaouira, riding from Ranch de Diabat toward the river, Sultan Mohammed III’s palace ruins, and the beach. Guide Mustafa and his team adjust the pace to your ability, from a calm walk to a beach gallop. Pickup meets you at Petite Porte de Bab Marrakech.

“Een echte aanrader! Vlotte communicatie op voorhand. Correcte afspraken. Vriendelijke ontvangst. Mooie ranch. Goed verzorgde paarden. De gids deed ook heel veel moeite om mooie filmpjes en foto’s van ons te maken!!! Merci daarvoor! 🥰 Als we dan toch 1 klein minpuntje moeten geven, dan is het dat het wel een beetje jammer is dat quads op hetzelfde parcours mogen. Maar dat ligt natuurlijk niet aan de ranch! Wij zijn alvast heel tevreden!”
