Notes / Booking Instructions
A unique opportunity to experience the magical moment of SUNSET in Essaouira on horseback, during 2 hours among dunes, mimosa woods, and soft sandy beach.
The Ranch de Diabat is located in the village of Diabat and has exclusive access to the southern beach, surrounded by dunes, a eucalyptus tree forest, and looking westward, the Atlantic Ocean with its waves. The ruined Portuguese castle, lapped by the waters at high tide, the Island of Mogador which hosts an ancient prison with the mosque’s minaret visible from afar.
And with this landscape, riding along this beach, watching the sun set, a unique magic.
Depending on the season, the sky takes on different colors; summer sunsets mostly have a clear sky due to the constant wind blowing from the north, while autumn skies are dotted with clouds that reflect the light in different ways every day, almost forming unique paintings.
It’s hard to choose which is the most beautiful, but we invite you to send us your photographs and try to choose together.
The exact time of the ride and meeting will be carefully communicated by reception based on the actual sunset time, which varies day by day and season by season.
We guarantee the view of the sunset on the beach; you will return to the Ranch immediately afterward to avoid darkness.
We are not responsible for adverse weather conditions, which do not constitute grounds for cancellation or complaint. (We do our best to satisfy you but we do not yet have superpowers over the weather)
Program
Alternatively, if you have your own transport, it will be easy to reach the Ranch, 3 km from the city center. When booking the horseback riding package with overnight stay, you will be sent the map and GPS point via email. You can park safely in the Ranch’s private parking.
Upon arrival at Reception, you will be welcomed by our staff who will show you the equestrian safety instructions, and you can complete the rental contract and meet your instructor who will help you choose the saddle pad of your size.
Recommended clothing is long pants and closed shoes, and the rider’s weight must not exceed 90 kg to preserve the health of our Arab-Berber breed horses.
You will leave the equestrian center on horseback heading towards the beach, following the banks of the Kassob river, visit the Palace of Sultan Moulay Abdallah, continue towards the dunes and the beautiful beach where you can gallop. You will be able to admire the Portuguese Castle and see up close the Island of Mogador with its mosque and ancient prison.
