Ride Barb-Arabian horses through Essaouira’s dunes, forest, and beach at sunset, with gentle pacing for beginners and gallops for experienced riders.

“It was absolutely beautiful 🤩 There are no words to describe how awesome it was. Our guide Youssef was amazing. First we were taken to the stables from which we rode through a path to the sand hills overlooking the ocean. On our way we even encountered a stray camel (just parked there 😂). Also, Youssef took some really great photos and videos. Strongly recommend to try this.”

2.2h Horseback Ride with Sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 68 reviews · 2 hours · from $73

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.”

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

Ride a Barb Arabian horse from Essaouira’s beach to a sunset over the Atlantic, with a guide and pickup included for $56.

“Une expérience magique du début à la fin ! 🐎 Nous avons fait une randonnée à cheval au couché du soleil avec notre guide Mustafa, et c’était tout simplement incroyable. Tout s’est parfaitement bien passé : les chevaux étaient calmes et bien entretenus, le parcours magnifique, et Mustafa a été d’une grande gentillesse, très attentif et passionné. 🌞 Le couché du soleil a rendu l’expérience encore plus belle et unique — un moment suspendu dans le temps, rempli de sérénité et d’émotion. 💛 Un souvenir inoubliable que je recommande à 100 % à tous les amoureux de nature et d’aventure. Merci Mustafa pour cette balade hors du temps ! 🌿✨”
