“I truly didn’t expect to find such an amazing place for horseback riding in Marrakech! Since my plans changed at the very last minute, I decided to book a ride spontaneously—and I’m so glad I did.

Imad took us there first when it wasn't too busy which was good planning. Then we did the Menara garden before it got too hot- well planned again. The carriage ride was at midday but we were under cover so it was very pleasant and a lovely way to sightsee on our first day around Marrakech”
