Welcome to Morocco

Arrival in Casablanca
Group pickup at Casablanca airport in the first half of the day. We’ll be waiting for you just outside the arrivals area with a recognizable sign.

Transfer to Essaouira (5–5.5 hours)
From the airport, we’ll head straight to the charming coastal town of Essaouira — the starting point of our main adventure. On the way, we’ll stop for lunch and soak in the changing landscapes from the comfort of our minibus. The scenic road will set the tone for the journey ahead.

Check in at the villa
Upon arrival in Essaouira, we’ll settle into a cozy villa with a swimming pool — your home for the week.

Dinner & introductions
In the evening, we’ll enjoy dinner at a local restaurant, dive into the atmosphere of the town, and get to know each other.

Welcome to Morocco!
This is just the beginning of an unforgettable horseback journey ahead.

Rest, Horses & Sunset Ride

Breakfast at the villa
We’ll start the day with a relaxed breakfast at the villa.
After a long flight and a full day of travel, it's time to recharge — soak up the sun by the pool, unwind, and gather energy for the adventures ahead.

Lunch
While we relax, a delicious Moroccan-style lunch will be served in the shaded outdoor lounge with a view of the pool.

Workshop
After lunch, we’ll gather for a workshop with Dixi Larina on posing and shooting with horses.
You’ll learn about the local horses, how the photo sessions and horseback rides will be organized, and get tips to feel confident and inspired during the shoot.

Sunset horseback ride
Later in the afternoon, we’ll head to the stables to meet the horses. Our instructors will help match each rider with the right horse, based on your skills and comfort level.
Then we’ll set off on a scenic ride as a group, slowly making our way toward the ocean, just in time for the golden sunset.
Experienced riders will have the chance to film an epic gallop along the beach, with the help of a quad bike, capturing powerful, cinematic shots.
Beginner riders will continue their relaxed ride at a walking pace, with beautiful phone photos and videos to remember the moment.

Dinner
In the evening, filled with new impressions, we’ll head out for dinner at one of the best restaurants in Essaouira.

Photoshoot Day

Early morning: Sunrise photoshoot
Before dawn, the first group (4 participants) will head out for a sunrise photo session among the dunes with a liberty-trained horse.
Dixi Larina will create a unique and atmospheric shoot tailored to each of you.

Breakfast & rest
The second group can enjoy a slower morning; breakfast at the villa will be served at 10:00.
After the early shoot, the first group will return and join the rest for a relaxed breakfast.
The afternoon will be free for rest, poolside lounging, and getting ready for the sunset shoot. Lunch will be served in our open-air lounge by the pool.

Evening: Sunset photoshoot
The second group (4 participants) will head to the Atlantic coast for a sunset shoot with liberty horses.
With golden light and waves in the background, we’ll create striking, cinematic images. The horses rear up, work without a bridle, and for experienced riders, gallop shots are possible.
Meanwhile, the first group can take a stroll around the town, or — if you wish — we can organize an optional quad bike ride along the beach.
Dinner
In the evening, we’ll all gather again for a group dinner at one of Essaouira’s best restaurants.

Another Day of Photoshoots

Morning: Sunrise photoshoot
Before the first light touches the dunes, the second group (4 participants) will head out for a sunrise photo session with a liberty-trained horse.
This time, our talented photographer will create stunning, magical images in the golden desert light.

Breakfast & rest
While the shoot is in progress, the first group can enjoy a slow morning. Breakfast at the villa will be served at 10:00.
After wrapping the morning shoot, the second group will join for breakfast.
The rest of the day is yours to relax and prepare for the sunset shoot. Lunch will be served in our open-air lounge with a pool view.

Sunset photoshoot
Now it's the first group’s turn (4 participants) to head to the Atlantic coast for their sunset shoot with liberty horses.
We’ll create powerful, cinematic moments — from rearing horses to dynamic gallop shots for experienced riders.
Meanwhile, the second group can explore Essaouira at their own pace or choose an optional quad bike ride along the coastline.
Dinner
In the evening, we’ll gather again as a full group for dinner at one of Essaouira’s most atmospheric restaurants.

Exploring Essaouira

A walk through the Medina
Today we’ll take a walk through the historic heart of Essaouira — one of the most European-feeling towns among Morocco’s ancient settlements.

Immerse yourself in the Medina’s charm
We’ll begin by wandering the narrow streets lined with colorful market stalls and artisan shops. You’ll find handmade crafts, traditional Moroccan goods, and unique souvenirs to take home.

City walls & fortress history
Next, we’ll head up to the ancient ramparts of Mogador, the city’s old fortress built by the French on the site of a 16th-century Portuguese stronghold.
This very location was featured in Game of Thrones — it’s where Daenerys Targaryen acquired her army of the Unsullied in Season 3.
Once a thriving port for maritime trade and a hub for desert caravans, Mogador also served as a hideout for sea pirates in centuries past.

Essaouira’s iconic port
We’ll then visit the city’s vibrant fishing port, where fresh seafood is sold daily straight from the boats.
Here you’ll have the chance to taste delicacies like fresh oysters or sea urchins — often for just €1 apiece.
Next to the port, cozy seaside restaurants offer to grill your seafood on the spot, just the way you like it.

Souk shopping & dinner
After a bit of shopping at the souk, we’ll wrap up the day with dinner at one of Essaouira’s most atmospheric local restaurants.

Ride into the Sunset

A slow and peaceful morning
Today is all about relaxation.
No early shoots, no rush — just a leisurely breakfast and a quiet morning at the villa. Soak up the sun, rest by the pool, and take in the calm before our final ride.

Optional solo shoots on the beach
For those who want to capture a few more iconic moments, we offer optional individual photo and video sessions galloping along the ocean shore.
You can ride with or without a saddle — perfect for those feeling bold and free.
(Not included in tour price)

Lunch & ride prep
After lunch at the villa, we’ll begin preparing for our final horseback ride of the tour.

Final horseback ride
The route will take around three hours, and riders will be divided into groups based on experience:
– Beginners and less confident riders will ride at a relaxed pace with a guide.
– Advanced riders will follow a more dynamic trail with long stretches of canter and gallop.
Midway through the ride, we’ll take a scenic break for tea and a moment to unwind.

The grand finale: Ocean & sunset
As we cross golden dunes, the ocean will appear before us, just in time for sunset.
Each rider will have a stunning gallop video filmed from a quad bike, capturing the power and beauty of this final moment.

Return & closing dinner
After the sun dips below the horizon, we’ll ride back to the stables and return to the villa to get ready for our farewell dinner.
In the evening, we’ll gather at one of Essaouira’s finest restaurants to share stories, laughter, and celebrate the journey we’ve shared.

Farewell, Morocco

Final morning in the Medina
We’ll begin our last day with breakfast in the heart of the Medina, surrounded by its winding alleys and colorful atmosphere.
After breakfast, we’ll take one final walk to the ocean, where we’ll gather as a group for a small symbolic ritual: tossing a coin into the waves — a wish to return here someday.

Goodbyes & journey to the airport
In the early afternoon, we’ll pack our bags and load into the minibus for the road back to Casablanca.

We’ll see you off at the airport, filled with a mix of emotions — joy from being part of an unforgettable adventure, and a hint of sadness that it’s come to an end.
Your phone will be full of memories, your heart full of stories — and we hope this is only the beginning of many more journeys to come.
