About this experience
Being in the United Arab Emirates and not riding an Arabian horse is unthinkable! Get ready to feel like sheikhs for an hour and take a horseback ride through the desert. You will visit a stable with graceful and sensitive horses, ride with an instructor through the enclosure and sandy expanses. And at Al Qudra Lake, you will see birds and animals that inhabit the area.
What to expect
Al Qudra Lake Reserve. On the way to the stables, we will stop at Al Qudra Lake - a man-made oasis in the middle of the desert, which has become home to many animals and migratory birds. During a short walk, you will appreciate the unique ecosystem of the lake and see its inhabitants.
Meeting the horses. On the premises, you will be greeted by stately Arabian horses - loyal, sensitive, and enduring animals, the pride of the Arabian Peninsula. You will learn what makes these horses remarkable and how the breed suitable for the dry desert was developed.
Horseback ride through the desert. After a brief instruction, you will first ride in the enclosure, and then accompanied by an instructor, you will set off to explore the expanses of the morning desert, as Arabian sheikhs traditionally do. In an hour, you will admire the sandy landscapes, enjoy the ride, and take excellent photos. Afterward, the transfer will take you back to the hotel.
