Horse Riding Holidays in Israel

Horse Riding Holidays in Israel can be in a range of environments, though desert riding is often a major feature. The history, geology and ecology of Israel make it a fascinating place to visit no matter what your interests. It's a year-round destination, with warmer winters than the UK (although nights can get cold) and hot summers. Even low-cost budget airlines fly here now so whatever your budget, you can have a very special horse riding holiday. The rides are currently trail rides for intermediate to advanced riders, but at Unicorn we are always looking to develop more rides to suit all interests and abilities, so watch this space! In addition, you can easily take in the incredible historical and natural sites of Israel before or after your stay. From Jerusalem to the Red Sea, Israel is full of interesting places to go and things to see. It is perhaps at its best in Spring (mid-March to May) when the temperatures are warm during the day and evenings are balmy. In the summer it is very hot, often too hot to ride during the day. Autumn is very pleasant after the heat of the summer.

Israel is a melting pot of cultures with sites of historical and religious interest for 3 major religions – Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Most areas are open and welcoming to tourists, and there is a relaxed attitude towards clothing and self-expression. There are some communities however with strong orthodox views and may take offence to liberal clothing or activities. It is best to investigate the areas you intend to visit beforehand to avoid causing any offence.
