5 hours ride
+ picnic.

A 5-hour horseback ride from a stable near Agadir or the Souss valley, incorporating a picnic break at a scenic stop roughly midway through the outing. This is a genuine half-day ride rather than a short leisure trot, covering 20 to 30 km of varied terrain: argan groves, agricultural piste tracks, dry riverbed crossings, and open hillside with Anti-Atlas foothills visible in the distance on clear days. The picnic is served on a rug or under a tree - typically Moroccan bread, olives, cheese, kefta meatballs, fresh fruit, and mint tea. Riders should have basic confidence in the saddle; this is not a lesson, and horses are forward-moving animals on longer outings. Some riding experience or at minimum prior comfort on a horse is strongly recommended. Helmets are provided and should be worn throughout. Saddles are generally European-style. The 5-hour duration means you will be in the saddle for 3.5 to 4 hours of actual riding across two legs. Bring sunscreen, a hat for the midday sections, and water in addition to what is provided. This suits travellers who enjoy riding as an activity in its own right and want to cover real ground rather than a beach loop.
