1 / 3Al Jumooh
๐ Al Aweer, Dubai
Desert equestrian retreat outside Dubai offering horse riding lessons for all ages, experienced trainers with a strong safety focus, and accommodation for overnight family getaways. Suitable for complete beginners.
I started horse riding lessons with my wife and 9 year old son at Al Jumooh around 2-3 weeks ago. This has become the highlight of the week for the three of us. My wife is not the adventurous type and she was scared before we started and I was a little worried for her and my son but the team at Al Jumooh made sure we were all very safe during every second of every lesson. Her confidence grew so much from the first 20 minutes and after 5 lessons she is good enough to ride alone but the guys still insist on keeping a groom with her and my son for extra safety. The horses are wonderful and calm, the management and trainers go above and beyond to make sure everyone's safe and happy, the place has a family feel to it because of the staff. The surroundings are serene, modern and obviously newly refurbished and spotless clean, with a very nice coffee shop and a play area for kids. To top it up their prices are probably the best you can find in Dubai for this quality. I cant recommend the experience of horse riding or the place enough.
๐ Family Action Verdict
Best for families wanting a genuine desert escape that combines riding lessons with overnight stays. Particularly strong for nervous first-time riders of any age โ staff are consistently praised for building confidence. Children from around 5 years upward are catered for.

โI had an amazing time at this place. They are welcoming and friendly. The trainer and all the employees are devoted to satisfy customers. I appreciated also the implication of the manager of the place as well as the owner. They are doing their work with a lot of passion. The place is very clean, calm, with very nice and simple decoration. I definitely recommend the placeโ

Overview
Al Jumooh operates as both a riding school and a desert retreat, drawing families who want to escape Dubai's urban pace. Riding lessons run for all ages and skill levels, with trainers who break down technique progressively and prioritise rider safety at every stage. A 9-year-old with no prior experience alongside a nervous adult can both receive tailored instruction in the same session. The grounds are clean and calm, with a cafรฉ on-site.
