I had a great early sunrise ride at 6 AM today with Suleman. He was very attentive beforehand in suggesting the right tide for me to be able to canter/gallop (as I first had sunset in mind). He also gave me a good recommendation for an affordable hotel where to stay the night before. Suleman accompanied me on the ride. He gave me an amazing Arab horse, that listened well to me and was well behaved and beautiful and looked well cared for. Suleman gave me lots of riding tips and suggestions during the ride. I actually found out lots of improvements needed for my riding style. He also made lots of photos and videos. These again showed me the improvements I need to make in my posture and balance. The photos and videos were of great quality. All in all, it was a very nice ride with lots of lessons and canters. Thank you so much!

We have had a private two-hour ride in the sunset. The reception was very warm and professional, the place is beautiful. The horses are very well trained. But we were particularly impressed by what great photos and videos our guide took of us! We can fully recommend the organizer!

A great relaxing experience riding horses during sunset. Suleiman was so accommodating and took lots of pictures to capture the moments. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice 2 hour ride on the seemingly endless beach Al Sawadi. The guide was very friendly and tried to capture great memories in the form of videos and photos. Thanks for the great afternoon!

It was a great experience on the beach. We took an hour-long walk. The horses are super well maintained and fit. Onlyman welcomed us very well and guide during the ride. Everything has been done with respect for horses we see that the owners are lovers of their horses. We recommend 100%. After the walk we were even offered something to cool off.
