Tunis Stable 5 h White Dessert

The ride started at the stable and led us to the left, with the picturesque village of Tunis on our right and vast green meadows on our left. After a relaxed ride straight ahead, we turned right and passed through Tunis before reaching the open dirt roads. 

On the wide paths, we initially rode straight and occasionally added a trot. Then we turned left, shortly after right, and reached the first canter stretch, which we enjoyed at a calm, steady pace. After three sweeping curves, we followed another canter stretch along a small stream. 

We crossed a busy road and re-entered the fields. After a left turn and subsequent right bend, we rode across the red stone desert, passing a fenced property. Then we passed another section with fields, enjoying the varied landscape—from green meadows to reed fields and bright yellow rapeseed fields. 

Finally, we reached The White Desert, a fascinating landscape of fine, soft sand and smooth white stones. Here we mostly rode at a relaxed walk but could also choose between slow and fast canter sequences at any time. 

Our path led directly to the Upper Wadi Al Rayyan Lake, where we took a well-deserved tea break overlooking the water. Afterwards, we continued our ride at a calm walk, while the dunes occasionally opened up the view of the lake. 

One last time, we let the horses canter before finally riding leisurely to the White Desert Camp, our final destination.
