What To Expect

Dilmun Burial Mounds

Start your Arabian horseback riding tour with an afternoon pickup from your hotel and relax during the 20-minute drive to the stables near the Bahrain Fort - a UNESCO World Heritage Site (2005). On arrival at the stables, you’ll sit down for a traditional Arabic coffee or tea accompanied by local delicacies (choose "snack package"). Explore for yourself the "land of immortality", the ancestral place of Sumerians and a meeting point of gods according to the Epic of Gilgamesh. While professionals prepare the horses for the trail ride, take in the serenity of the majestic surroundings, where heritage and modern times meet. You’ll be paired with a tame horse that is well-suited to your skill level for the approximate 1-hour ride. After a safety briefing follow the same horse trails once used by Kassites, Greeks, Portuguese and Persians dating back from 2300 BC. During the horseback trail ride, you’re surrounded by gorgeous views of the Bahrain Fort, silhouetted against the sunset.

The perfect way to end the day. I chose to go in the evening when the sun wasn’t so hot. I loved that I could get picked up because I chose not to get a car during my stay and my driver Abdullah was amazing, he took the time to tell me about the different sites along the way, was very attentive to my questions and provided so much insight into the island. He made sure that I was well attended to once we got to the stables and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The ride took a good amount of time and I loved the trail to the beach. My guide was also amazing. Took the time to guide me on directing my horse and took many pictures and videos of my ride for me to enjoy. Thank you so much for this amazing experience!!😊
Nice Experience

The tour itself was nice. The people working at the stables were very nice and the horses were beautiful and healthy. My rating is more for the price from viator. It costs so much less to book through the stables directly. We wasted so much money unknowingly by booking through this app. Lesson learned.
