Discover Morocco on horseback during this mesmerizing trail ride! Morocco is an exceptional land to discover on the back of a horse, where many surprising details and immersive experiences await. You will cross the oasis, villages, dunes, and rocks on horseback, and embark on the adventure of a lifetime through this magical, surprising territory.
Your accommodation throughout your trail ride will be in collective tents for six to seven people, or, if you wish, in a two-person igloo tent. The first and last nights will be spent at a hotel, in double rooms.
Individual travellers: If Ranch de Diabat doesn't find the second person for a double room, there will be a supplement for a single room.
Level of difficulty: Intermediate - In order to participate in the trek, the riders need to be comfortable in all three gaits and have experience of riding outside. It is best that they have already done a full day on horseback.
You will be welcomed at the airport and transferred to Zagora. Overnight will be at a hotel.
Every day you will be in the saddle for about five to six hours. You will start by exploring the large spaces of the Moroccan desert. During the ride in the desert, you will cross the last mountain range that separates you from the Sahara. Following a path with hairpin bends, you continue to the top, where you will enjoy a magnificent panorama.
The descent leads to oases on desert plateaus, where only a few acacia trees, looking like umbrellas, survive the dry climate. Gradually, as you advance towards the south, you approach the first dunes the size of which increases progressively until they fill the landscape that lies before you. Continuing towards the Draa Valley, you cross vast dune fields dotted with tamarisk.
You will find houses, palm groves, and kasrs (fortified villages). As you enter the Draa Valley, crossing the dunes, there are plateaus (reg) and gorges. Later, you encounter small villages where you pass by ksar and gardens to the heart of the palm groves and oases. Every evening you can enjoy a bonfire, a traditional Moroccan meal, and a night in a bivouac under a Berber tent. Dinner and overnight will be at Berber camps.
On this day, you will return to Zagora, for only a half-day of riding. In the afternoon, it is possible to visit the Medina of Zagora, then transfer to Ouarzazate. Dinner and overnight will be at a hotel in Ouarzazate.
You will be transferred to the airport.
Note: If weather conditions require it or due to unexpected factors, Ranch de Diabat reserves the right to modify certain route sections or stages in the interest of the participants.
During your stay, you will be provided with all meals. If you prefer to arrive at Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK) and stay at the hotel in Ouarzazate, meals will be your responsibility for the day.
