Notes / Booking Instructions
Ranch de Diabat is located in the heart of a region with fantastic landscapes, and is the ideal place for horseback riding.
The one - hour rides are organized starting from the Ranch, where you can read the safety instructions, put on your helmet and set off towards the beach, passing by the ancient Sultan's Palace and admiring the Portuguese Castle.
Not to be missed is the Kassob River, which seasonally hosts several species of migratory birds, which you will have the opportunity to admire.
Rides are available every day of the week by appointment and based on the availability of teachers and horses.
Riders who wish to do so and notify us in advance will have the opportunity to participate in preparing the horse, starting with cleaning and saddling it before going out for a ride.
Plan
Otherwise, if you have a car, it's easy to reach the Ranch, located 3 km from the city center. When you book the horseback riding package with overnight stay, you'll be sent a map and GPS location by email. You can park in the Ranch's private parking lot.
Upon your arrival at Reception, you will be greeted by our staff who will show you the equestrian safety instructions, and you will be able to fill out the rental contract and meet your instructor who will help you choose the right helmet size.
Recommended attire is long trousers and closed shoes, and the rider's weight must not exceed 90kg to preserve the health of our Berber Arabian horses.
You'll leave the equestrian center on horseback and head towards the beach, riding along the banks of the Kassob River. You'll visit the Palace of Sultan Moulay Abdallah, then continue towards the dunes and the beautiful beach, where you can gallop. You'll admire the Portuguese Castle and get a close-up view of Mogador Island with its mosque and ancient prison.
Prepare yourself as best as possible
