Morocco: Camping Adventure Rides

7, 9, 14 and 28 night adventure rides, using simple lightweight camps and simple hotels. Various locations in Morocco at different times of year. Suitable for confident, independent riders.

Where is it?

Different routes in distinct areas of Morocco, including the Middle Atlas, the Atlantic Coast and the northern edge of the Sahara Desert.

What is it like?

Morocco is a melting pot of African and Arab cultures with a landscape ranging from barren mountains, cedarwood forests and lush valleys in the Atlas, to huge sand dunes, date palm oases and endless empty beaches in the south and west. Exotic Arab cities with their colourful souks and Kasbahs contrast with remote desert villages of the Berber people whose farming culture is very much linked with the horse and boasts its own unique breed, the Berber Arabs.

Who does it suit?

All rides are progressive, following a route from one camp to another with occasional nights in a simple hotel. Days include long riding hours, often at a fast pace and terrain can be rocky and challenging. The areas you ride through are remote and you are often many miles from the nearest small town or village. The rides are aimed at adventurous, confident and independent riders.You are expected to cope, helping with your horse, sleeping outside in a simple camp at night and doing without frills! If you relish a challenge, they will give you a real sense of achievement.

Why we love it

For the restorative rhythm of riding all day, camping out at night, of being physically tired but mentally refreshed by the exercise, outdoor living, open space, peace and good food. For the feeling of achievement when you’ve done something that stretches you.  For the long gallops on flat, endless sand!
