Gentle terrain, stable trails, open views over the High Atlas: Agafay is well suited to a ride on horseback. An hour to cross a piece of this landscape in the saddle, with a guide who adapts the route and the pace to each rider's level.
A first chat helps gauge your experience, then the guide assigns a mount accordingly, adjusts the stirrups and goes over the basic commands. The group sets off at a walk, and depending on how comfortable everyone is, the pace can rise to a trot on the open stretches, even a gentle canter on the plateaus. Beginners stay at a walk, closely accompanied. The outing runs early morning or late afternoon, when the heat stays bearable for the horses.
