Moroccan Royal Tour: A Unique Celebration of Equestrian Sport, Heritage, and Accessibility

The Moroccan Royal Tour, now in its 14th edition, is a distinctive equestrian circuit that blends elite international show jumping with Morocco’s rich cultural heritage and a strong commitment to public accessibility. Founded in 2010 under King Mohammed VI’s patronage, the Tour attracts top riders from around the world to compete in prestigious events across three Moroccan cities—Tétouan, Rabat, and El Jadida. Beyond high-level competition, the Tour uniquely integrates traditional equestrian arts like Tbourida (Fantasia) and showcases native horse breeds, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere that welcomes families, tourists, and local communities with free entry and inclusive activities.

This event stands out by fostering broad access to equestrian sport, offering opportunities for young and less experienced riders alongside Olympic champions, and investing heavily in youth engagement through educational workshops and children’s villages. By combining world-class sport, cultural preservation, and open public participation, the Moroccan Royal Tour not only elevates Morocco’s global equestrian profile but also serves as a sustainable model for growing the sport’s fanbase and nurturing future generations. It exemplifies how equestrian events can be both prestigious and inclusive, inspiring local communities and visitors alike to connect with Morocco’s equestrian heritage and the universal appeal of horses.
