Arabian horses have been part of Bedouin culture for many centuries, acting as both transporters and travel companions. On a Horseback Ride across the desert, you'll experience their role in the desert lifestyle, discovering the Dubai dunes in the process.

This is a peaceful, calming experience taken at a slow pace to appreciate the beauty around you. The experienced resident horses of Al Maha Desert Resort will be your mode of transport, and they know every dune like the back of their hooves!
