In between, unwind under the sun, stroll along deserted beaches, or wander through the colorful streets of nearby Essaouira. The experience ends with a traditional hammam and a magical farewell dinner in a seaside cave — the perfect close to an unforgettable week in Morocco.

Aleksandra Jachymek
Aleksandra is an artist from Poland whose life journey led her to the wild Atlantic coast of Morocco. Moving here was a conscious choice — an act of care for her physical health and mental wellbeing — and the culmination of a powerful personal transformation.
After graduating from Film School, Aleksandra went through years of depression, which she chose to heal without medication, instead using her own creativity as medicine: through performance, participatory art, and deep work with energy. At the same time, she faced Hashimoto’s disease, which she successfully healed, and realised that the urban environment was oppressive to her body. She was also in a challenging, codependent relationship for years, before making the life-changing decision to move closer to nature — a decision that would redefine her life entirely.
Today, Aleksandra lives in a house by the ocean in Sidi Kaouki, where she has built a life deeply rooted in nature, mindful living, and creative freedom. Drawing from her own journey of healing and self-discovery, she brings an exceptional ability to guide others through transformative experiences.
This trek is her own creation — designed entirely from her life experience in Morocco. The route is truly unique: no other horseback adventure in the country follows this exact path. Every view, every stop, every hidden corner has been chosen with intention, making it both an adventure and a deep inner journey.
Since May 2025, Aleksandra has been leading these rides, blending her love for horses with her artistic sensibility. On the trail, she offers mindfulness practices, somatic exercises, and breathwork, guiding riders not just across Morocco’s landscapes but also into moments of presence, grounding, and connection.
As the soul of this project, she ensures that every guest feels welcomed, seen, and part of something truly special. She speaks Polish, French and English and her ability to connect with people from all walks of life makes the trek not just unforgettable, but life-changing.
Oussama
Oussama is the owner of the stables in Sidi Kaouki and the heart behind every ride you’ll take with us. His horses are a mix of Barb and Arabian breeds — spirited yet gentle, with incredible endurance for long-distance treks. Every single horse in his stable was personally trained by him, ensuring they are well-balanced, comfortable in the saddle, and perfectly adapted to Morocco’s diverse terrain.
A graduate of the prestigious Fédération Royale Marocaine Equestre in Rabat, Oussama mastered the art of horse training and equestrian techniques at the highest level. After his studies, he completed an internship in one of Morocco’s most renowned stables, where he specialized in starting and refining horses for advanced riding.
Based in Sidi Kaouki for many years, Oussama has been leading multi-day horseback expeditions along Morocco’s Atlantic coast and through its inland landscapes. He is a true professional — passionate, patient, and deeply respectful of both his horses and his riders.
Fluent in English, French, and Arabic, he ensures clear communication and a welcoming atmosphere for guests from all over the world. Whether you’re trotting through golden dunes or cantering along an empty beach, you’ll feel safe, inspired, and completely immersed in the adventure under Oussama’s guidance.

Riding
Horses & Riding Experience
The horses on this ride are carefully selected Barb-Arabian stallions, personally trained by Oussama, ensuring they are balanced, responsive, and perfectly prepared for all level riders.
Equestrian Equipment
All horses are provided with comfortable, well-fitted saddles and tack. Guests are welcome to bring their own helmet, and it’s recommended to wear chaps, breeches, and long-sleeve shirts for sun protection. While riding without a helmet is possible, some form of sun protection for your head is strongly advised.
Surfing
All surf equipment is available on-site, including boards and wetsuits. Depending on your skill level, you can choose the board that suits you best. Wetsuits are provided, but if you prefer to use your own, feel free to bring it along. For those who want a more personalized experience, private one-on-one lessons with an instructor are also available for an additional fee.
Participation & Involvement
Guests are welcome to participate in the daily care of the horses, including grooming, saddling, and feeding, depending on your interest. Your engagement is entirely optional — you may choose to immerse yourself fully or simply enjoy the ride.

We encourage you to tip each person individually at the end of the trip, as this personal gesture is especially valued in Moroccan culture.

During your stay, you will be hosted in an oceanfront house with a spacious terrace and breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Spend your days relaxing on the terrace sun loungers, soaking up the Moroccan sunshine, or simply listening to the sound of the waves.

Located within a gated and secure community, the property is surrounded by nature, wildlife, and the peaceful beauty of the coastline.
