Horse Riding in Hurghada: Along the Sea & Desert
The moment your horse finds its rhythm on the open sand, the resort behind you goes quiet.
Overview
You didn't come to Hurghada to watch it from a balcony. Some part of you wants the version of the Red Sea coast that has no sunbeds and no crowd — just open sand, a horse that knows the way, and the sound of hooves finding their rhythm. This ride gives you exactly that, with an air-conditioned car to your hotel at each end.
A trainer fits your helmet and rides beside you, and within minutes the resort noise is behind you. The desert opens wide on one side, the sea flashes on the other, and your attention narrows to the animal beneath you — the roll of its walk, the shift into a trot, the way it leans into the breeze off the water. Whether you've ridden for years or never sat in a saddle, you settle into it faster than you'd expect.
This is a stretch of coast most visitors never reach: the empty ground between desert and shallows where the Red Sea meets the sand with no hotel in the frame. Arriving here at a horse's pace is a different thing from being driven somewhere and told to look. For an hour, or two, you're not a tourist being shown around — you're simply out in it, moving the oldest way there is.
Choose the one-hour ride for an unhurried loop of sea and desert, or the two-hour version, which goes further and ends with the moment people only ever see in photographs — your horse wading into the shallows and swimming with you on its back. When you turn back toward the stable with sun on your shoulders and salt in the air, you'll be quieter than you were on the way out — and that's the part no photo carries home.

Im Grossen und Ganzen ein tolles Erlebnis bis auf die deutsche Eingewanderte (Cheffin oder welche Rolle auch immer sie hat) die mit ihren überflüssigen Kommentaren die Stimmung kippt. Zudem bietet sie mitten auf der Tour Wasserflaschen an die "offensichtlich abgefüllt sind"... Deswegen raten wir ab dieses Wasser zu trinken. Die einheimischen Mitarbeiter sowie der Zustand der Pferde war beeindruckend. Machte mächtig Spass (bis auf die Dame aus Germany)
Von Beginn bis zum Ende sehr gut organisiert. Freundlicher und humorvoller Guide und wunderschöne, gesunde Pferde. Ich würde es bei meinem nächsten Besuch wieder buchen 👍🏼
Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht…kann ich jedem empfehlen. Alle sehr nett und auf dem Hof gibt es nicht nur Pferde. Lohnt sich!
Mein Freund und ich haben diese Tour gebucht und waren begeistert vom Fahrer und Tourguide. Beide waren äusserst freundlich und respektvoll. Der Stall war in hervorragendem Zustand und man konnte sofort sehen, wie sehr die Tiere geliebt und gepflegt werden. Wir würden diese Erfahrung gerne wiederholen. Vielen Dank!
