1. Discover the Desert Landscapes on Horseback

Your adventure begins at the agreed meeting point in Merzouga, where you will meet your local guide and the horses. Before departure, you will receive an introduction to the activity, including basic instructions and safety recommendations appropriate to your experience level.

Once you are ready, begin your ride through the desert surroundings. Enjoy views of the golden dunes, open sandy terrain, and the contrasting landscapes around Merzouga.

The route depends on the selected excursion, the condition of the terrain, and your riding ability. Your guide will help choose a suitable pace so you can enjoy the experience while appreciating the natural beauty of the Sahara.

2. Enjoy a Ride Suitable for Your Experience

Whether you are new to horseback riding or already comfortable in the saddle, you can request an experience that matches your level.

For beginners: Enjoy a gentle ride at a controlled pace, with guidance from the local team and time to become comfortable with the horse.

For intermediate riders: Explore more of the surrounding landscape at a suitable pace, depending on your abilities and the route available.

For experienced riders: Ask about longer or more dynamic rides, subject to the guide’s assessment, terrain, and horse suitability.

The safety and comfort of both riders and horses should always come first. Faster riding should only take place when the guide confirms that the conditions are suitable.

3. Horse Riding at Sunset

For a particularly beautiful experience, choose a late-afternoon excursion when the desert light becomes softer and the landscape takes on warm golden colors.

Ride through the desert surroundings as the sun approaches the horizon, enjoying the peaceful scenery and taking photographs along the way where it is safe to stop.

Sunset rides are especially appealing for couples, photographers, and travelers looking for a memorable outdoor activity during their stay in Merzouga.

Departure times depend on the season and the local schedule.
