Horseback Riding Through Argan Forests & Authentic Local Life in Tamri, Morocco

When people think of Morocco, they often imagine deserts, cities, and markets.

But along the Atlantic coast between Agadir and Essaouira, there is a landscape that feels completely different — green valleys, wild argan forests, ocean wind, and traditional rural life that has remained unchanged for generations.

This is Tamri.

And one of the most unique ways to experience it is on horseback.

The Magic of the Argan Forest

The argan tree is one of Morocco’s most iconic natural treasures.

Found almost exclusively in this region, the argan forest creates a landscape that feels both wild and peaceful at the same time.

Riding through these forests on horseback gives you a completely different perspective:

  • Soft trails between ancient trees

  • Open spaces with ocean views in the distance

  • The smell of earth and nature after the wind

  • Moments of silence broken only by birds and hooves

It’s not just scenery — it’s a living ecosystem shaped by centuries of tradition.

Goats, Argan Trees, and Local Life

One of the most surprising sights in this region is the famous “tree-climbing goats.”

They climb argan trees to eat the fruit, creating one of the most unique rural scenes in Morocco.

But beyond the goats, there is a deeper reality:
this land is home to local Berber communities who have lived with the argan forest for generations.

During our rides, it’s common to pass by:

  • Small villages made of earth and stone

  • Farmers working the land

  • Shepherds guiding goats and sheep

  • Families producing traditional argan oil by hand

Everything here feels authentic and connected to nature.

Local Food & Traditional Moroccan Meals

Horseback adventures in Tamri are not only about riding — they are also about sharing moments around food.

After long rides, we often enjoy traditional Moroccan meals prepared locally, such as:

  • Tagine cooked slowly over fire

  • Fresh bread baked in rural ovens

  • Mint tea shared in a calm setting

  • Seasonal local produce from nearby farms

  • Sometimes fresh grilled fish from the Atlantic coast

These meals are simple, but full of meaning.

They reflect a lifestyle where food, nature, and community are deeply connected.

More Than a Ride

At Wingh Horses, we don’t just guide people through landscapes.

We share experiences that connect riders to the land, the culture, and the rhythm of rural Morocco.

Every ride through the argan forests is different because nature is alive — and every moment brings something new.

From Cinematography to Rural Morocco

My journey started in filmmaking — capturing stories, emotions, and human experiences through the lens.

Today, I still see everything cinematically.

But instead of only filming stories, I now live inside them.

Horseback riding through argan forests, meeting local families, sharing meals, and exploring hidden landscapes has become a new way of storytelling — more direct, more human, more real.

2 & 3-Day Horse Treks in the Heart of Nature

For those who want a deeper experience, we also organize multi-day horseback treks across Tamri and the Atlantic coastline.

These journeys include:

  • Riding through argan forests and coastal trails

  • Visiting remote rural areas

  • Traditional Moroccan meals with locals

  • Camping under the stars

  • Long beach gallops and mountain views

It’s a full immersion into nature and Moroccan rural life.

Discover Authentic Morocco on Horseback

If you are looking for something beyond tourist experiences — something real, grounded, and connected to nature — Tamri offers a different side of Morocco.

Here, horses become more than transport.

They become a way to slow down, observe, and truly connect with the land and its people.
