From Atlantic beaches to the Berber plateaus: why October is the perfect month for a true horseback trek in Morocco.
October holds a special significance for those who love riding. It’s a transitional moment: summer's heat gives way to milder days, trails empty, and the air becomes clear. In Morocco, this month is far more than a change of season—it marks the beginning of a deeper connection with your horse, the landscape, and yourself.
If you’re an experienced rider seeking a true equestrian tourism experience, this is the time to act. The horseback excursions return in full swing, and Moroccan landscapes await. And to make this occasion even more special, we’ve reserved a unique opportunity for the entire month of October—more on that below.
Why October is ideal for expert riders
Perfect climate for long rides
Forget the searing heat: October in Morocco offers ideal temperatures for outdoor activity. Thanks to geography and the ocean breeze, days are cool yet sunny, and nights refreshingly pleasant. A perfect balance for long days in the saddle, without suffering either heat or cold.
Open trails, nature that awakens
As the high season ends, the routes clear out. It’s the time when Morocco can be explored in silence and at ease. The itineraries become wilder, more authentic, better suited to those seeking a real connection with the land. This is also when the light delivers spectacular sunsets, turning every moment in the saddle into a memory to carry forward.
