The Loop of Iftane

In the morning you will cross a small Berber village then a plateau located between small hills, along the coast. After being gone down in the middle of a small valley, you will join “the source” where you will lunch with the team. 

After lunch, you will ride on small paths surrounded by fields and cultivations. In the late afternoon, you will appreciate an extraordinary panorama with a unspoilable view on the sea. You will arrive at the small fishing village of Iftane. 

After a gallop on the beach (small deserted creek), you will go up on the cliff dominating the sea where our camp is based.

After a delicious breakfast taken in front of the ocean, you will go back in the saddle and ride along the beach towards Essaouira. 

In the second part of Sidi Kaouki, you will see the Marabout. You will then cross huge sand dunes that are unique to the region, enjoying at the same time some gallops. You will cross a small fishing village and then take the direction of a small Berber village on a cliff facing the Atlantic. After a picnic in a small creek where you can swim, you will go towards the lighthouse of Cap Sim. 

Then, you will take a small sandy path and go down the dunes. You will have the feeling to be in the desert but the sea is just behind them. You will see some very small fishing villages on the beach side. After some gallops on the beach, you will enter in the forest of eucalyptus and mimosas located between the beach and Diabat and see the ruins of the former palace of the Sultan. 

Arrival at the stables in late afternoon. Transfer to Essaouira and night in the riad. Diner not included.

Meeting at the riad and transfer to Essaouira (20 min) or Marrakesh (2h 45min) airport.
