A riding holiday in Morocco offers all of the thrills of a fast canter through the desert sands with the addition of a unique cultural experience. Morocco is a melting pot of various cultures that is guaranteed to excite every sense.
Morocco is divided into several regions or provinces. Some of them, such as Agadir and Casablanca are fairly well known. Others, such as Al Hoceima and Khouribga are somewhat less visited by tourists and therefore lesser known. However this does not mean they have nothing to offer. Visiting some of these lesser know areas on horse back gives a real insight into the country.
The Sahara nestled between the Nile and the Red Sea is the largest desert in the world. Only a small part of the Sahara is fertile, where corn, dates and other fruits grow. It has crisp clean air and sometimes very strong windstorms. There is a large variety of small dessert animals who inhabit this area. Night time in the desert brings the stars closer than they have ever seemed before.
The Atlas is the biggest mountain range in North Africa. It can be divided up into the High region, Middle region, and Anti region. It is an ideal place for sports lovers and sightseers. Here you can ski, mountain bike, hike and horse ride, or simply take in the breathtaking scenery. There are many rivers and waterfalls in the area which should not be missed.
