What To Expect
Choose a morning or afternoon departure when you book, then enjoy hotel pickup in Dubai and travel by comfortable vehicle to a desert equestrian center. Along the way, your guide shares insights about the desert landscape and the wildlife that inhabits it.
On arrival, meet the horses and be matched with one suited to your experience level. After a safety briefing and riding instructions from a professional instructor, settle into the saddle and set off into the open desert.
Follow your instructor across rolling dunes and wide sandy plains, taking in the peaceful atmosphere and the soft light of the morning or late afternoon. Depending on your comfort and ability, you may walk, trot, or canter as you ride through the vast, quiet scenery.
As you go, keep watch for native wildlife—if you’re lucky, you might spot gazelles or a desert fox moving across the sands. When your ride comes to an end, return to the equestrian center, say goodbye to your horse, and relax on the transfer back to your Dubai hotel.

Beautiful setting unfortunately I was not able to ride due to my weight which I was unaware of this until I arrived at the stables
My daughter was able to go ahead

Dear Guest,
Sorry to hear about. But the requirement of the weight was mentioned on your voucher and it was advised prior to the tour as well. You have communicated wrong information about your weight. The maximum weight allowed is 90 KG same information you see on your voucher.
Thank you

Relatively poor desert ride experience for me and my partner on Jan 6th. We clarified with the front desk whether we would be able to ride without strict guidance and they confirmed. To our surprise, not only were we forced to stay at a walking pace for the entire ride, but my partner (who is an intermediate rider) had her horse on a leash and the guide would not let go, even though we asked over 5 times. A complete waste of time - if it was our first horse riding experience, it would have been our last. When we complained to the admin at the end of the ride, they were unsupportive and unhelpful.

Dear Guest, Sorry to hear about. i checked with the team. the free ride ability is only possible if you are able to control the horse. and Guide handling is to control on ground for your safety and safety for others. if Guide advised not to go fast or to have better control it is because you were not enough expert in doing what you asked for. it is totally for the safety precautions to avoid any incident.
Thank you

Ibram was a great instructor , the views are amazing, we saw camels while galloping in the dunes . Incredibly clean place with well kept and happy horses . Loved it so much we reserved again within 2 days

Very friendly and well organised! I was expecting to ride in the desert (or at least some dunes) so was a little disappointed when it felt like riding around a sandy park.

My partner had a good horse to suit his riding ability. Perhaps a stronger horse.
I enjoyed going out into the desert but feel that my horse did not have the energy or spring that I would expect for an experienced rider.
Hopefully next time there will be the chestnut horse for me that was full of energy and spring.
Recommend the stables.

Response from Host, May 2023
Bonjour,
Désolé d'entendre parler de votre expérience. J'ai vérifié et vous séjourniez à l'hôtel Sharjah. et vous avez réservé l'activité à Dubaï. selon le contrat, le transport inclus uniquement depuis les hôtels de DUbai. et nous vous avons donné une exception concernant le retour gratuit à votre hôtel à Sharjah après l'activité.
