Horse Riding in Sidi Kaouki
The long, wide beach at low tide is ideal for riding. Beginners can walk along the sand. Experienced riders can ask for a faster ride.
What to Expect
Most rides follow the beach, where the sand is firm at low tide, and some go into the dunes behind it. A guide rides with you.
Tell the provider how much you have ridden before. Beginners get a calm horse and stay at a walk. Experienced riders can ask about trotting and cantering on the sand.
Late afternoon rides can be very pleasant, with softer light and less heat. Ask the provider about times that work with the tide.
Animal Welfare
We want horses to be well looked after. Good signs are horses that look healthy and are not too thin, saddles that fit, shade and water between rides, and guides who do not push horses too hard.
If something does not feel right, tell us. We take feedback about animal care seriously when choosing providers.
Who It Is For
Riding on the beach suits beginners, families and experienced riders. Ask the provider about the minimum age for children and any weight limits.
