The sound of hooves on sand, the scent of eucalyptus in warm air, and somewhere ahead — the Atlantic shining beyond the dunes. This ride along Morocco’s coast carries you from quiet argan forests to wide open beaches, where land and ocean meet without fences or hurry.

Your journey begins near Diabat, riding into the heart of Argana’s forests and visiting the region’s oldest argan tree. You’ll join a traditional argan oil workshop, share lunch beneath eucalyptus trees, and continue through Berber countryside toward the sea. A stop at Sidi M’Barek waterfalls marks the meeting of fresh water and ocean cliffs before reaching Sidi Kaouki. Sunset beach rides, a possible swim bareback with your horse, picnic lunches by the shore, views of Mogador Island, and a gallop past an old sultan’s palace shape the final days.

You stay in a guesthouse and villa, with luggage transferred for you and evenings filled with Moroccan dinners. This is a coastal ride made for those who want distance, wind, and the kind of freedom only a long sandy beach can give. Come ride where the land opens wide!
