A Unique Coastal Adventure: From Essaouira to Agadir on Horseback
Ride from the windswept white walls of historic Essaouira to the vibrant coast of Agadir in this truly special coastal trek. This journey is designed for riders looking for a real adventure – not just a scenic ride, but a nomadic experience, crossing ever-changing landscapes while sleeping each night in comfortable tents under the stars.
Unlike our villa-based treks, this itinerary offers a genuine trekking experience: riding from one iconic city to another, with cozy bivouac nights that still include hot showers, toilets, and a transportable kitchen for delicious, home-cooked Moroccan meals.
Live in the Bivouac
During our horseback hikes, we sleep in Berber tents and igloo-style tents, right next to the horses – a magical way to connect with nature and the rhythm of the ride. Our bivouac setup includes a dedicated kitchen tent and a wash cabin with a chemical toilet, ensuring both comfort and authenticity even in remote landscapes.
What makes this Trek so special?
Essaouira, the enchanting UNESCO-listed city with whitewashed medina walls, Portuguese ramparts, a lively port, and a magnetic artistic soul
Sidi Kaouki, a secret surf haven with laid-back charm and endless beaches, still off the beaten tourist path
Aghroude, a colorful oceanside village where traditional fishing life meets vivid painted houses and sweeping sea views
Tamri, the lush banana town surrounded by dunes and palm groves
Canyons near Taghazout, offering breathtaking panoramas of the wild Atlantic coast – a final scenic highlight before reaching the city
The journey ends in Agadir, a city that blends the modern and the traditional, with wide boulevards, bustling souks, beautiful beaches, and a rich Amazigh heritage. It’s the perfect finale for this diverse and unforgettable ride.
