About This Ride

An Evening on the Atlantic Coast

The Sunset Horse Ride is timed to take advantage of the changing evening light on Essaouira's long Atlantic beach. Setting off from our Diabat historic trailhead, as the afternoon shifts toward dusk, the colours and atmosphere of the coast become something truly special compared to standard daytime beach horse riding in Essaouira.

The ride is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours and follows the beach at a relaxed pace past sand dunes and the ancient ruins. Share your experience and comfort level with Brahim so he can confirm suitability, or consult our complete rate comparison & prices guide for all durations.
