Who we are

Welcome to Equievasion, a premier horse ranch located in Diabat, just a stone's throw away from Essaouira. Hassan El Ouali and his dedicated team are passionate about horses and committed to providing our guests with an unforgettable experience since 2008.

At Equievasion, we pride ourselves on offering top-notch equipment to ensure comfort and safety for both riders and horses. Our well-maintained stables provide a cozy home for our 14 Arab-Barb stallions, who are treated with care and respect.

Our knowledgeable staff members are not only experienced riders themselves but also have a deep understanding of the local area. They are always ready to share their expertise and guide you through the breathtaking landscapes that surround us.

We believe that horseback riding is more than just a recreational activity; it is a transformative experience that allows you to connect with nature, find inner peace, and create lasting memories. Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner looking to embark on your first equestrian adventure, we have the perfect ride and horse for you.

„We went on the 4 day trek through argan trees, over sand dunes and along the beach.
Slept in original tents with authentic delicious food. Beside the breathtaking galopps along the beach I will never forget the starry sky at night. Awesome. Our guides where very kind and friendly, people you can't forget. I will be back, promise!“
