Horse Riding Marrakech: Palm Grove Ride, Berber Villages & Mint Tea
Why Choose This Horse Riding Marrakech Trip
This horse riding Marrakech experience takes you through the Palm Grove, the Palmeraie, only about 20 minutes from the medina. To begin with, you meet your horse and guide at the stables and get a helmet and a short briefing. Then you ride among palm trees, dry riverbeds and small Berber villages, before a break for mint tea.
Throughout the ride, the guide also adapts the pace to your level. As a result, beginners walk calmly, while experienced riders can trot or canter on open tracks. In fact, the late afternoon is the most beautiful time, with soft light on the palms and the Atlas.
However, if you prefer a desert ride, see our Agafay day trip. Also read our guide to horseback riding in Morocco.
