Private Island Horseback Riding: Coastal Trail

Ride a well-schooled Arabian horse along Sir Bani Yas's unspoiled coastline, with sweeping Gulf views and the chance to spot free-roaming wildlife from the saddle. A bucket-list moment that combines elegance with raw natural beauty.

What to expect

Expert grooms match you to a suitable horse before your coastal trail departs across the island's scrubland and shoreline paths. The pace is adapted to your experience — confident riders can canter along open stretches facing the Gulf, while beginners walk through acacia groves with wildlife all around. The combination of Arabian horse heritage and a rewilded landscape makes this quietly spectacular. Sessions last approximately 45–60 minutes.
