Embarking on a horseback journey through the desert proves to be an enchanting experience. This equestrian adventure unfolds in two distinctive stages, promising a rich tapestry of cultural and natural encounters.

Every day will be an incredible discovery on the saddle of our trusty horses, in the spectacular landscapes that the desert offers. As the relentless sun yields to a luminous moon and the night sky unveils a constellation of stars, which you will be able to touch.

This horse trekking activity is among the most requested as it provides an immersive plunge into the desert realms. The joy of discovering unforgettable panoramas and capturing timeless moments through the lens intertwines with the passion the Ranch would love to share with you all the way.

The organizer speaks: English
In 2006, an enthusiastic horse-riding tourist from Italy came to Morocco to book a horse ride on the (then still small) Ranch de Diabat: Erika. Omar, one of the two brothers who ran the ranch, was her riding guide... This encounter led to a serious relationship and Erika soon left Italy to live and work as a partner on the Ranch in order to realise a shared dream: to propagate trail riding in Morocco throughout the world. Erika had previously worked in tourism and riding is her great hobby. At the Ranch, she is the organiser who takes care of the rides. She is very concerned about the welfare of the horses and contributes with many new ideas to ensure that there is always something new at the Ranch.

Tour organizer's comments

In order to participate in our treks, you must be comfortable in the three gaits and have the habit of being outdoors. It would be better if you had already done a full day on horseback, if you wish, it is possible to come to us a few days before the trek to benefit from lessons and to know your level. The different equestrian levels will be managed with more guides in order to guarantee the fun for every rider both beginner and with a good equestrian level.
