During a luxurious family vacation in Morocco, Madonna took the opportunity to deliver a political message while engaging in a thrilling desert horse race on Friday.
The 67-year-old pop icon was accompanied by her 29-year-old boyfriend, Akeem Morris, and several of her children, including Rocco, 25, David, 20, Mercy, 19, and 13-year-old twins, Stella and Estere.
Madonna shared a video on Instagram capturing the adventurous spirit of their trip, featuring scenes of them riding horses across sand dunes and providing a peek into their desert campsite.
With her signature flair, the “Papa Don’t Preach” singer sported a stylish look in a faux fur-trimmed padded jacket and sunglasses, before trading her cowboy hat for a safety helmet.
Ensuring she looked her best, Madonna reapplied her lipstick before joining her children in wearing traditional headscarves as they explored a nearby beach.

Over the last few weeks mass protests against the regime have broken out across Iran that have left 2,500 protesters dead.
Madonna penned: ‘Hold Tight ………. I cannot think of a more relevant phrase than this as we enter the year of the Fire Horse! As I reflect on my time in Morocco over the holidays I think of all the people in IRAN who are fighting a much needed, Revolution and willing to die for what they believe in’.
‘We take so much for granted. Myself included. The freedom to travel the world. To wear what I want to wear’.
She went on: ‘To ride a horse across the desert. To speak Freely and not be silenced by punishment, torture, and possibly death. To sing. To dance. To choose my spiritual path, not someone else’s.. The women of Iran do not have this freedom.
‘I stand with them. The people of Iran have not known freedom for centuries I cannot claim to truly know the suffering that has been endured but my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Iran. The time is now. Hold Tight!
Before adding: ‘I stand with Iran. Let their voices be heard.. FREE IRAN!’.
