Horseback Riding in Marrakech Palmeraie with Tea Ceremony and Transfers

This guided horseback ride in Marrakech’s Palmeraie suits all skill levels, including beginners and children over 8 years old.

Description

Start with an air-conditioned pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech Medina or Gueliz. Meet your local guide who will transfer you to the stables in the Palmeraie, a palm grove located minutes from the city center.

At the stables, certified instructors provide a safety briefing covering posture, reins handling, steering, and stopping. You will have a 10-15 minute warm-up in the paddock to build confidence before the ride. Helmets and safety vests are supplied and mandatory. Horses are matched to your experience level.

Enjoy a 1-hour leisurely guided trail ride through palm trails, Berber gardens, and quiet dirt paths. Your guide narrates the history of the Palmeraie, identifies local plants, and maintains a suitable pace for all riders.

After the ride, relax in a shaded Berber-style area while enjoying a traditional Moroccan mint tea ceremony with fresh spearmint tea and local pastries. Take time for photos with the horses against the palm grove backdrop, assisted by the stables team to capture portraits and group shots.

You will then be driven back to your original pickup location, arriving relaxed and with memorable experiences of Marrakech’s countryside.
