About this experience
Experience the timeless charm of Morocco with a horse riding tour in the Marrakech Palmeraie . Just a short 15-minute drive from the bustling Medina, this lush oasis featuring over 100,000 palm trees provides the perfect backdrop for a serene escape.
Whether you are a seasoned equestrian or a first-time rider, our professional guides ensure a safe and captivating journey through one of Marrakech's most iconic landscapes.
Riding our primarily Barb and Arab-Barb horses—known for their calm temperament and legendary stamina—allows you to form a genuine connection with nature.
As you traverse shaded paths, discover traditional Berber villages, and witness the daily rhythms of local life, you'll understand why this area is often called the "Green Jewel" of the Ochre City.
The experience is beautifully capped off with a traditional mint tea break, offering a moment of authentic Moroccan hospitality under a nomad tent or in a local home.
This 1-hour group excursion takes you deep into the heart of the Palmeraie. Following a comfortable pickup from your accommodation, you will meet our expert team and your gentle mount.
Your 1-hour ride winds through palm groves and scenic trails, offering a peaceful alternative to the city's noise.
The highlights include interacting with local villagers and enjoying a refreshing glass of Moroccan mint tea before returning to your hotel in a shared, air-conditioned vehicle.
This activity is perfect for couples seeking a romantic sunset ride, families looking for a safe and educational outdoor activity, and friends wanting to explore the outskirts of Marrakech in a relaxed atmosphere.
Located at the edge of Marrakech, the Palmeraie is a historic palm grove dating back to the 12th century.
It represents a vital part of the city's heritage, offering a refreshing microclimate and a glimpse into traditional Moroccan agriculture and architecture.
It is the ultimate destination for those seeking tranquility near the city center.
