WHY US?
Expert Local Guide
Led by Soufiane, a passionate equestrian expert born to these lands. We navigate the hidden paths surrounding the legendary Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, guiding you past majestic ancient clay kasbahs, hidden desert oases, and striking cinematic landscapes that have captivated the world.
Horses first
They are partners. Not tools. They're the center of everything. We live with them, spend our days around them, and know them one by one. They rest, they recover, they are not pushed. They always come first.
We know this place
We didn't arrive yesterday. We don't come here for a season. We live here. We know the ancient tracks that aren't on any map, the rhythms, the food, the way things work. You're not coming to a program. You're coming to us.
A Traditional Tea Pause
Sunset Restaurant & Salon De Thé
Relax and enjoy a traditional Moroccan mint tea before or after your trail.
Totally for free on all our programs.

Rider's Preparation Guide
Recommended attire and guidelines for an unforgettable desert trail.
A Quick Note on Summer Riding
The desert is absolutely stunning this time of year, but it does get quite warm. To make sure you have the most comfortable experience possible, we highly recommend booking either a Sunrise or a Golden Hour Sunset trail. We'll have plenty of cold water ready for you, but please remember to stay hydrated before you arrive. Light, breathable clothing with long sleeves is the best way to stay cool and protected.
Closed Footwear
Sturdy closed shoes, boots or trainers are mandatory. For safety reasons, riding in flip-flops or sandals is strictly prohibited.
Long Apparel
We highly suggest wearing long trousers, leggings, or jeans to safeguard your legs from friction against the premium leather saddles.
Sun Protection
The Moroccan desert sun is intense. Ensure you bring high-factor SPF sunscreen, protective sunglasses, and a wide hat or lightweight scarf.
Secured Gear
If you're bringing professional cameras or smartphones for capturing film locations, ensure they have tightly secure neck or wrist straps.
