2.Horse riding in muscat beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 24 reviews · 1 hour · from $59

Ride a well-trained Arabian horse along Muscat’s sandy shoreline for one hour. This gentle beach ride suits first-time riders and photographers, with the stable about 10 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from central Muscat. Bring water, sunscreen, and your WhatsApp number.

“Ride nice, but just a half our walk up beach and back. No opportunity to canter. No English. Nice, but thin horse. Man at stable was demanding my money at end of ride, although it was pre-paid. No WIFI reception to show proof of this on smart phone. I will book via hotel (Chedi) next time. They also queried my booking on arrival. Complete language barrier didn’t help. Also had to help myself to riding hat as none was offered. No welcome. No explanations of what was to happen etc.”
