What makes us different
Six reasons why Ranch des Dunes is the equestrian reference in Dakhla.
Remarkable training
Mohamed (Bicha) was trained by a Cadre Noir rider from the Saumur school — the world's leading authority in horsemanship. A rare level of expertise, passed on with passion and warmth.
Exceptional Arab-Barb horses
Our horses are magnificent Moroccan Arab-Barbs: powerful, spirited and well-balanced. Cared for daily, their well-being is our absolute priority.
Landscapes like nowhere else
Cliffs, dunes, deserted beaches, roaring ocean, turquoise lagoon, endless desert... A spectacular diversity of terrain you'll cross at walk, trot or full gallop.
For everyone, no exceptions
Whatever your level or age, we tailor each experience to your profile. No prior experience needed.
Animal welfare, our commitment
Here, our horses, ponies and camels are not working tools — they are our partners. Rest periods respected, adapted feeding, never overloaded. The animal always comes first.
A passionate French-Moroccan team
Close-knit, caring, speaking your language and knowing every trail. You're in good hands, always.
The most beautiful way
to experience the sunset
in Dakhla.
Every evening, the sky sets ablaze over the Atlantic. On horseback or camel, from the dunes or the cliff's edge — live the moment you'll never forget.
