PRINCE MOULAY ABDELLAH ALAOUI
In 2014, the 5th edition was quiet a success,
judging from the number and quality of participating riders and horses.
Likewise, the welcoming atmosphere and
smooth running of the events contributed to
this success.
The CSI3* kept its promises to the delight of an enthusiastic and passionate audience of riders , journalists, and many children increasingly attracted by the
magic of this sport .
In addition, the program contest CSI1*, as part of
this tour, offered the opportunity for many Moroccan
and international riders to start building their international experience.
Full of enthusiasm and with a great will to progress,
we will be pleased to welcome you to share moments
of passion and emotion at the 6th edition of the 2015
Morocco Royal Tour.
THE MOROCCO ROYAL TOUR
Based on a simple and effective concept, the Morocco Royal Tour is imagined very much like a
trilogy:three cities ;three-day events;three international starts;three horses ;and three settings.In
sum three more reasons for internationals to come and take part in the contest in Morocco .
The MRT is to take place over three successive week-ends ,respectively in the cities of Tetouan, Rabat
and El Jadida.
In previous editions, the MRT welcomed more than twenty nations, represented by prestigious horse
-riders: Olympic Games medalists, World Equestrian Games and the various continental championships and a host of world stars of jumping.
The program includes a CSI3 * with 9 events counting for the International Equestrian Federation’s Longines FEI Ranking List, including
three Grands Prix CSI3 * W qualifiying for the and CSI1 *.
This rich program places today the MRT among the most attractive meetings on the International Calendar .
The trust vested by our sponsors, the work of our teams , as well as the national and international media -coverage all bear witness to
wide recognition ,wich bodes well for the development of equestrian sport in Morocco.

Morocco. It is deemed to be the most Andalusian of all the cities in Morocco. As a
flagship arts’ city ever since the time of the
Phoenicians, Tetouan has been able to mark
the region and the country by its avantgarde influence in the political, social and
cultural spheres. Its medina has been recognized as World Heritage by the UNESCO.

EL JADIDA
This coastal city, which is located some 80km south of
Casablanca, was a fortress erected by the Portuguese
back at the beginning of the 16th Century. The fortifications of the Portuguese City provide an example of
Portuguese military architecture during the Renaissance and stand witness to cross-cultural interactions
and influences between Europe and Morocco. In June
2004, the City of El-Jadida was formally registered on
the UNESCO World Heritage List. The El-Jadida region
is famous for and prominent in horse breeding.
Rabat, the Capital of Morocco, is located on the shore
of the Atlantic Ocean and the left bank of the mouth
of the Bouregreg River. The city was founded back
in 1150 by the Almohads, who also set up a citadel
therein, which later became known as Kasbah des
Oudayas. The site served as a basis for Almohad-led
expeditions to Andalusia. Since June 2012, several
sites in the city have been registered as cultural landmarks on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
