What you can expect

Step away from your hotel routine and embark on a horse-riding adventure in El Gouna that blends desert serenity, the Red Sea’s beauty, and the unforgettable feeling of riding beneath Egypt’s open sky.

This experience is guided at a relaxed pace, with comfort, safety, and cultural touches at its heart. It offers one of the most genuine ways to enjoy Hurghada’s landscapes. Whether you join at sunrise with breakfast, in the morning, afternoon, or at sunset with dinner and stargazing, each ride creates its own special atmosphere

The trip is designed to be flexible. Guests can select shared transfers for convenience or choose the entry-only ticket and arrive at the stables independently. Travel time varies depending on where you are staying: approximately 25–30 minutes from Makadi Bay or Sahl Hasheesh, 40–45 minutes from central Hurghada, and up to an hour from El Gouna, Soma Bay, Safaga, or Al Ahyaa. For those who prefer a more comfortable journey, private transfers are available. Travelers are advised to bring only essentials and leave valuables safely at their hotel

Upon arrival at the base, guests enjoy a 15-minute rest before the program begins. Helmets are provided, and the team explains all safety measures clearly. Riders are grouped by skill so that beginners feel secure and experienced riders can enjoy the pace as well. Professional guides lead the tour, ensuring safety while adding cultural context that enriches the journey

Routes may cross sandy valleys, desert plains, or head toward the Red Sea. The sunrise departure is quiet and cool, illuminated by golden light. Afternoon rides reveal a softer mood in the desert, while the sunset option adds the unique experience of Oriental dinner, a live performance, and stargazing beneath the open desert sky

Guests may select from several options

The Horse Ride For 2-Hours — Without Transfer (Entry Ticket Only) is designed for those who prefer to reach the base independently

The Horse Ride For 2-Hours — With Shared Transfer includes hotel pickup and drop-off from major resorts and offers a classic 2-hour ride without swimming

The 1H Quad + 1H Horse — Double Adventure Combo Tour gives you an hour of quad biking followed by an hour of horseback riding, scheduled in the cooler morning hours

Horse Riding For 2-Hours — Stargazing, Dinner & Show begins with a sunset ride and continues with dinner, and stargazing in the desert

The {VIP} Horse Riding 4 Hours – With Swim Stop Only is a deluxe 4-hour private ride with the rare chance to swim with your horse in the Red Sea

Guests should note that the Oriental breakfast is offered only on the 5:00 AM sunrise ride, so choosing the early departure time is essential for those wishing to enjoy it

Each option is carefully guided by professionals, with horses trained for all levels of riders. Flexible schedules, transfer, and add-ons make this adventure one of the most memorable ways to discover the spirit of the Red Sea and desert in a single journey
