Begin your Arabian horseback riding adventure with a convenient early morning pickup from your hotel, and enjoy a relaxing 20-minute drive to the stables near the Bahrain Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. Upon arrival at the stables, indulge in a traditional Arabic coffee or tea, accompanied by local breakfast treats (select the “breakfast package”).

Discover the “land of immortality,” the ancestral home of the Sumerians and a legendary meeting place of gods as described in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

As professionals prepare the horses for your trail ride, soak in the tranquility of the stunning surroundings, where heritage and modernity coexist. You’ll be matched with a gentle horse that suits your skill level for an approximately 1-hour ride. After a safety briefing, follow the historic horse trails once traversed by Kassites, Greeks, Portuguese, and Persians dating back to 2300 BC.

During the horseback trail ride, enjoy breathtaking views of the Bahrain Fort, silhouetted against the sunrise as you make your way towards the Karbabad beach, passing the fort museum.

Keep your camera ready to capture stunning photos of the 500-year-old fort, and if you’re observant, you might spot the Manama skyscraper skyline in the distance. After your ride, relax in the stables lounge with refreshments and get ready to don traditional Bahraini attire for photos next to a beautifully adorned native costume Arabian Stallion (select the Photo-Op package). Learn more about these magnificent creatures through the real-life stories of “The Captain,” a local Bahraini equestrian jumping champion.

You’ll return to your hotel with the rest of the day free to explore more of Manama.

Please Note: This is a single-file trail ride. For safety reasons, guests are not allowed to run or gallop the horses on the trail.
