Had a beautiful experience horse riding across sawadi beach during sunset. Horses are very well kept and the stable is tidy. Our guide Suleiman was very helpful and took stunning pictures for us, he is a great photographer!

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!

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!
