Marrakech Countryside: A Two-Hour Horseback Ride through the Atlas Landscape

Beyond the movement of Marrakech, we head towards the countryside near Tahannaout, where the city gradually gives way to open land and the Atlas Mountains rise in the distance. Here, we spend two hours on horseback, discovering the quieter landscape surrounding Marrakech at a slower pace.

The Experience

Setting Out into the Countryside

We begin from the ranch and settle into the rhythm of the horse before heading into the surrounding landscape. Away from the streets of Marrakech, the setting feels noticeably more open and peaceful, with the Atlas Mountains creating a dramatic backdrop to the ride.

Two Hours on Horseback

The longer ride gives us time to simply enjoy being outside rather than rushing through the experience. For two hours, the landscape unfolds gradually from horseback, allowing us to take in the changing scenery and the quiet of the countryside around Tahannaout.

Beneath the Atlas Mountains

What makes the ride memorable is its setting. The mountains remain part of the horizon as we move through the landscape, giving the experience a sense of place that feels distinctly different from Marrakech itself — spacious, natural and wonderfully unhurried.

What Awaits

• A two-hour horseback ride
• Countryside surroundings outside Marrakech
• Atlas Mountain scenery
• Time outdoors in a peaceful natural setting
• A slower way to experience the landscape around Tahannaout
• Different ride durations available for those wishing to extend or shorten the experience

Beyond the Experience

The ranch lies near Tahannaout, within easy reach of Marrakech yet surrounded by a much quieter natural landscape. Alongside horse riding, the property is home to gardens, animals and other outdoor experiences, making it possible to spend more time in the countryside before returning to the city.

An Invitation

We leave Marrakech behind for a while, settle into the saddle and follow the landscape towards the mountains — two quiet hours shaped by horses, open country and the distant Atlas.
