★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 41 reviews · 3 hours - 270 minutes · from $123Our pick

Choose a one-hour Arabian horse ride near Doha on the desert side or seashore. Guides such as Yasir and Sultan help match horses to your ability, while private transport, photos, water or tea, and hotel pickup keep the outing simple. Add a 4x4 safari for more dune action.

“We had an excellent time riding in the desert. Sultan our driver was extremely helpful and pleasant, as were the guides on our ride. Embarrassingly I dropped my phone during the ride and the guides went above and beyond to help find it, which we did. The horses were beautiful and well kept, and I had the opportunity to take off and have a couple of gallops across the dunes whilst my partner who is not an experienced rider walked with a lead rein. 3pm pick up meant we were mounted and riding at 4pm and had a lovely experience of the sunset over the desert.”
