Al Dhabi Horse Riding
📍 Al Awir First, Dubai
Family stables in Al Awir offering guided desert treks with cantering, beach rides, beginner lessons with English-speaking guides, and a petting farm with goats for young children between rides.
Had such a great time riding here — the desert and dunes are absolutely gorgeous, and we spent plenty of time cantering, which made the experience unforgettable. The stable itself is lovely, with many beautiful horses and goats, and everything felt well cared for and thoughtfully run. I rode with Sikandar both days (sunrise + sunset) and he was a pleasure — Highly recommend!!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children old enough to sit independently on a horse, and adults who want an active desert ride rather than a passive guided lead. The petting farm adds a standalone value for toddlers who cannot and ride. Group and family events are well-managed with a consistent safety focus across all guides.

“Beautiful Horse Farm in Al Dhabi – An Unforgettable Experience! I had the pleasure of visiting a horse farm in Al Dhabi, and it was truly an incredible experience. The entire place is peaceful, well-maintained, and filled with love and care for the animals. The team was absolutely amazing – friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. They took time to answer questions, make me feel welcome, and ensure everything was perfect from start to finish. The horses were stunning – calm, beautifully cared for, and full of personality. Whether riding, grooming, or simply observing them, it was a joy to be around such gentle, intelligent animals. A huge thank you to the whole team – you’re doing an exceptional job, and it shows in every detail. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves horses, nature, or just wants a peaceful and unique experience. Can’t wait to come back – thank you for the unforgettable memories!”
