Things to do in United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates: The Best Horseback Riding Tours
Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

The staff made sure the horses were all well suited to the riders and everyone felt comfortable and safe before setting off and all the staff were friendly and helpful from start to finish. Although it was a mixed group to start with, we separated so that the more experienced riders didn’t get held back. My daughter and I often go riding together in the UK but this was by far the best riding experience we have had. Ample opportunities to canter and the sunset views made this an unforgettable ride. Definitely recommend a trip out for this.

Thank you so much to Ditto for being with me and giving me a really really fun time Swimming with horses especially to dodger. It was really nice doing stunts like standing at the back of Dodger. That was really one for the books! ???? I will definitely come back because of this. Thank you Vikash for touring us around the resort by a pony ride and helping my mom have a good time because she's a bit scared at first and got comfortable afterwards.???? and lastly to a very friendly and accommodating receptionist of the stable, Melanie, thank you for assisting us during our stay. ????

Al Ali stable, located in a lush, green corner near the Dubai Outlet Mall, is the ideal place to embark on a desert ride. We offer daily sunrise and sunset rides for 1 hour 30 minutes in the desert. Experience the beauty of the sun setting over Dubai from the back of a horse, an unforgettable experience. Sit and drink tea after the ride in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and take home with you splendid memories and some wonderful photos of your ride. *Since 2019 we offer beach rides from time to time, by appointment only. (the beach is one hour’s travel from the stables and we take the horses by trailer) For more information contact Muddassar on +971 55 46688 (WhatsApp preferred)

Booking this activity is very easy and the Manager, Mudassar, communicates via Whatsapp if you prefer this method. Our daughter, who rides at home, absolutely loved the horses and the ride and we plan to make this a regular feature of our annual Dubai holiday. It is also very reasonable prices compared to UK. The stables are huge, lots of beautiful horses, well cared for and a lovely open area to sit and wait or walk around and admire the horses. Very friendly staff, not formal at all, once you've been once and know the set up it will be easy for repeat visits. The early morning rides are lovely if you can get up as it's quieter. So here's to some top tips as we did experience some challenges along the way 1) If you are doing the sunrise ride take a cardigan/sweatshirt as it can be very cold that early in the morning (around 6.45) 2) Whoever is on the ride needs to take their phone so photos can be taken by the accompanying stables riders (our daughter forgot hers so there was only one photo of her which she was quite upset about) 3) Make sure your driver knows the address - we got a taxi outside our hotel, he got lost several times at 75 Dirhams he had to turn the meter off (it should have been about 30 Dirhams from our hotel) , we missed the evening ride completely, ended up at completely the wrong stables amongst some very steep sand dunes where the taxi almost got stuck, and we got a little bit stranded as the taxi drivers shift ended and we had to swap taxis on one of the busy dual carriageways to get back to our hotel. All in all it resulted in 100+ Dirhams to spend 2-2.5 hours in a taxi admiring the desert and one very unhappy child. You can always ask the Stables to give you details of taxi drivers who do know the area but the added challenge we had here was the English of our proposed taxi driver was not good and so he couldn't converse well in Whatsapp and he kept leaving Whatsapp voice messages we did not understand. So we still had to ask the Manager, Mudassar to find out what time we were being picked up. This was all compounded by the fact we do not have data enabled on our work mobiles so I also spent a lot of money making phone calls whilst we were stuck in this taxi. If you really need to the Stables will arrange the taxi for you and they will also call one for the return journey or you can just ask the driver who dropped you to pick you up at the end of your time. You will know how long you will be out when you book it. Aside from that, a great morning out thank you - we will be back!
