“The guide was very nice, taught us how to ride and the horses seemed well looked after. The ride is more for the experience of riding a horse rather than actually seeing anything. It's just general Moroccan landscape, nothing special. TRead more”
Ride Arabian-Berber horses from Diabat across beaches and dunes, then watch the sun set over the Atlantic on this well-run two-hour tour.
“Esperienza bellissima. Dopo la prenotazione ci hanno chiesto se eravamo principianti o esperti. Trasporto incluso gratuito super efficiente. Ci hanno portati al maneggio dove abbiamo visto i cavalli tenuti benissimo. Ci hanno spiegato tutto e siamo partiti. Posto spettacolare, due ore meritano perchè ti portano fino alle dune di sabbia che scendono sul mare. Orario perfetto per vedere il tramonto. Guide carinissime e competenti. Lo consiglio caldamente. Secondo me molto meglio rispetto a quelli che ti vengono a proporre l’esperienza durante il giorno sulla spiaggia.”
