What to expect

Day 1: one day horseride with overnight in a Berber Tend
  1. Diabat
    45m
    Our adventure starts in Diabat, a village near Essaouira. Our pick-up service will take you at Essaouira. When you arrive at Diabat, our staff will welcome you. You will be given a brief introduction with explanations on how to handle our beloved horses. We will help you to find the right helmet and you will be assigned the right horse. Now it's time to climb aboard and the tour begins.
  2. 1h
    Our path leads through the forest with eucalyptus and mimosa trees. We can often meet wild tortoises here. Then we head towards the beach and reach the Omar dunes.
  3. Essaouira Beach
    1h
    We reach the seemingly endless beach south of Essaouira. The further we get away from the inhabited areas, the fewer people we meet. This beach is perfect for a gallop with our well-trained Berber-Arabian horses. But you need have no worries: If you don't feel up to it, you can take a slower route with one of our guides.
  4. 1h
    Our guide will find a shady and windless spot for lunch.
    The pick-nick, which was freshly prepared in our kitchen in the morning, was transported here in the saddlebags of the hoses. The guide will prepare everything for lunch on the spot. The chicken kebabs are roasted on the campfire.
    If you are a vegetarian, your wishes will also be taken into account. There is also salad, bread, water and soft drinks.
    To finish, fruit and freshly prepared mint tea.
  5. 1h
    We still ride our horses in the Cap Sim area where we will see the Essaouira wind farm, which supplies the Essaouira area with electricity. Then we will turn northwards again.

  7. Essaouira Beach
    45m
    We find ourselves back on the kilometre-long and very wide beach, which once again invites advanced riders to enjoy a fantastic gallop. And those who want to ride more slowly can do so with one of our guides!
  8. Diabat
    30m
    You come back to the Ranch where you can freshen up a little before we drive you to our Berber camp.
  9. Plage de Sidi Kaouki
    15h
    We will arrive at our Berber tent camp in the late afternoon. Our team has already prepared everything for you and a typical Moroccan mint tea will be waiting for you. Our camp is located in the immediate vicinity of the ocean. If you feel like it, you can take a swim. In the meantime, our chef prepares a delicious dinner. Everything is freshly prepared according to Moroccan tradition. Mineral water and soft drinks are served. After dinner, you can settle down around the campfire and marvel at the starry sky before retiring to the Berber tent for a well-earned night's sleep.
Day 2: After the night in the Berber Tend and a good breakfast you turn back to Diabta in car
  1. Diabat
    1h
