Tbourida is an ancient custom horseback riding from North Africa. It takes place on a wide track in which the galloping riders perform a series of movements that culminate in the final shot.
It was a very common custom among the Bedouin tribes and comes from the time when battles were carried out on horseback. The exercise was performed in a ritual and festive way on the special dates of the Bedouin tribes in the north of the continent. In Morocco, different demonstrations of this legendary tradition are still held today.
En El Jadida, the city of horses, the Tbourida is still represented today as one of the most important pieces of horse worship. Visitors are usually surprised by the great emotion that people show, thousands and thousands of people celebrating what in Europe would be a kind of football match, but which for Moroccans is an ancestral celebration.
