Horseback riding vacations in
Morocco
|
"The Earth is a peacock, and its glorious tail Morocco" is an old saying that alludes to Morocco’s exotic architecture, colorful lifestyles, and general love for life. Morocco brims over with exquisite contrasts, color and mystery and all you can do is simply catch your breath in wonder. It has a timeless quality that no longer exists in the modern world, a sense that the past with all its glory and savagery still lives on, threading in and out of the present, informing with its every word and gesture. On a horse riding holiday in Morocco you are plunged into a culture, a religion and a lifestyle utterly unlike anything that you have ever experienced before; a mystery tour of a land of endless surprises, enchantment and enduring fascination, a land perfect for a very special horseback vacation.

Morocco People and Culture
Moroccans are friendly, polite, competitive and intensely curious about the outside world. Islam is a thriving faith but Morocco's version is also extremely moderate, open minded and tolerant. You can go a long way into the heart of their culture just by feeling independent enough to accept their hospitality which pours forth from rich and poor alike whether in the city or the countryside. Such gestures of friendship are what transforms a good holiday into a great experience, for then you are no longer just visiting but really living.
