A Warm Welcome to Diabat

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can be enjoyed by all ages. When I heard about the Horseback Riding at Sunset in Diabat, I knew it was something I had to try. The idea of riding Arabian horses through stunning landscapes at sunset sounded like a dream come true. So, with my adventurous spirit and a love for creating unforgettable family memories, I set off to Diabat with my family.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendly staff at the Ranch de Diabat. The stables were nestled in a picturesque setting, surrounded by the natural beauty of the region. The walk from the main road to the stables was a bit of a challenge, with a steep hill to climb, but it was well worth the effort. The anticipation of the ride ahead kept our spirits high, and the kids were buzzing with excitement.

The Ride of a Lifetime

Once we reached the stables, we were paired with our horses. I was a bit concerned at first, as no questions were asked about our riding abilities or preferences. However, my worries quickly faded as I realized how well-trained and gentle the horses were. They seemed to know their job perfectly, and their calm demeanor put us all at ease.

As we set off on our journey, the landscape unfolded before us like a painting. We rode through eucalyptus forests, past the Sultan’s palace, and over dunes that overlooked a vast, wild beach. The sight of dromedaries and other animals along the way added to the magic of the experience. The pace of the ride was adjusted to suit our comfort level, allowing us to enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed.

The highlight of the ride was undoubtedly the sunset. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky was painted in hues of orange and pink, creating a breathtaking backdrop for our adventure. It was a moment of pure bliss, one that I knew would be etched in our memories forever.

A Few Tips for Fellow Travelers

After our ride, we were eager to see the photos that had been taken during our journey. We were informed that the photos would be edited and ready by the evening, but there was a bit of confusion about how we would receive them. If you’re planning to do this activity, I recommend confirming the details of how you’ll get your photos before you leave the stables.

Another tip is to arrange transportation back to your accommodation in advance. The area around the stables is quite remote, and we found ourselves waiting for a taxi in the dark. Fortunately, we managed to flag down a passing taxi, but it’s always better to have a plan in place.

Overall, the horseback riding experience in Diabat was a wonderful adventure that I would highly recommend to families looking for a unique and memorable outing. The combination of stunning landscapes, well-behaved horses, and the magic of a sunset ride made it an experience we will cherish for years to come. If you’re planning a trip to Diabat, be sure to add this activity to your itinerary. It’s a journey you won’t want to miss!
