Highlights

  • Walk through 6 immersive stops inside ADREA, the world's only classical horsemanship school outside Europe, with a guide who covers the campus from stables to gallery.
  • Visit the Furusiyya Gallery, home to 173 rare artefacts spanning 2,000+ years of equestrian history, from ancient civilisations to the present day.
  • See ADREA's 40+ pure Spanish-bred white stallions up close in the stables and arena, where riders train in the same classical disciplines practiced in Vienna, Jerez, and Saumur.
  • Step inside Dar Al Hiraf, the UAE's first saddle-making atelier, and watch artisans demonstrate the design, creation, and restoration of traditional equestrian saddles.
  • Browse the Equestrian Library, one of the largest in the world, which holds over 14,000 rare books and manuscripts on classical horsemanship.

Your Experience

The ADREA guided tour moves through 6 distinct spaces across the campus, from working stables and a training arena to the world's first equestrian library in the Middle East and the UAE's only saddle-making atelier.

Getting started

The campus entrance opens onto a central courtyard inspired by Andalusian and Moorish architecture: white stucco walls, arched doorways, terracotta roofs, and a reflective fountain. Your guide begins here, setting the context for Furusiyya and the philosophy that connects every space on the tour. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled session; late arrivals may not be accommodated.

What to expect

The tour moves chronologically through ADREA's five pillars, performance, education, preservation, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. Each stop is distinct: some are quiet and contemplative (the library, the gallery), others are active (the stables, the arena, the atelier where craftspeople work as you watch). Your guide connects the spaces throughout, explaining how the Furusiyya philosophy runs from the welfare standards in the care of the horses through to the 2,000-year timeline of artefacts in the gallery.
