From Essaouira: Horseback Tour with Overnight Berber Camp

8. From Essaouira: Horseback Tour with Overnight Berber Camp

This ride is adapted to the riding level of the participants and is therefore also available for beginners. The easier tour for less experienced riders follows the wide, deserted beach of Diabat towards the south, in order to have lunch (which was carried in the saddle bags) in a shady place after about 3 hours of riding, followed by a rest and then return to the ranch by a different route through the Mimosa and Tuja forest. The route for experienced riders goes inland, along a river, and continues uphill to the village of Ghazoua, from where you descend again towards the ocean. Lunch, carried in the saddlebags, is taken in a shady forest area sheltered from the wind. After the lunch break, we will go back to the ranch along the Infinite Sand Beach, where a dream canter is possible. From the ranch the participants will be transported to our Berber camp by car. A typical mint tea and Moroccan pastries are already waiting there. Since our bivouac is located on the beach, in the evening you can watch how the sun sinks into the sea and the dark blue sky is slowly illuminated by countless stars. Our cook serves a typical Moroccan dinner, prepared directly on site from fresh ingredients, which is eaten in front of the tent. The evening ends with a campfire, traditionally told stories, drum sounds and possibly singing. After a restful night in the Berber tent, the next morning we will have a rich breakfast before our driver takes the participants back to Diabat by car.

Great tour, definitely recommended. Very clean gear and well maintained quads. My 11 year old son had loads of fun. Through fantastic landscapes, the two of us went with our very competent guide along the beach into a fascinating sand dune landscape, where everything was elicited from the quad... Thank you for the great afternoon.

Amazing! The animals appeared well cared for which was something I find particularly important. Mustafa was a wonderful guide, he has an interesting way with the camels, and it was nice to see them being treated well. He also had great knowledge about the camels, and brilliant photography skills! Thank you!

It was Phenomenal!!! I loved the experience and learning about the camels and desert. The guide - Mustafa - was the best!

It was a beautiful experience. Our first time on a camel. The guide was super good and also took beautiful pictures.

1st camel ride for me and no regrets, warm welcome and guide at the top, we had a good time with my daughter
