The ride begins before the city wakes: cool salt air from the Gulf tugs at your sleeves as a line of purebred Arabian horses files past the low stone walls by the stables. The sun lifts slowly over the flat shoreline, turning the Bahrain Fort into a long shadowed silhouette while you pick your rhythm and listen to hooves on hard-packed sand.
