This research method is based on a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The results of this study conclude that the model of tourists' interpretation of Daarus Sunnah Equestrian tourism has a variety of meanings, among which are interpreted as sports tourism destinations, religious tourism destinations, have tourist communication attractiveness, and as Islamic missionary activities.
