Short answerHorse riding in Agafay follows open stony tracks with views of the Atlas and Lalla Takerkoust lake. Rides usually last one to two hours and suit beginners at walking pace or experienced riders who want to trot and canter. Go in the morning or at sunset, and wear long trousers and closed shoes.
What riding in Agafay is like
The wide plateaus and gentle hills of Agafay make good riding country: few obstacles, long sight lines and changing colours. Trails often pass small villages and olive groves near the lake.
Levels
- Beginners: walking pace, horse led or accompanied, short rides.
- Intermediate: walk and trot on easy tracks.
- Experienced: canters on open ground with a guide.
Horse or camel?
A camel ride is calm, led on foot and suits all ages — see the sunset camel ride and camel riding tips. Horse riding is more active and better if you already ride.
Practical tips
- Wear long trousers, closed shoes with a small heel, and sunglasses.
- Helmets should be provided — ask.
- Tell the stable your real level and weight.
- Avoid midday in summer.
