Some adventures are unforgettable. Our Horse Riding Hurghada – Beach & Desert experience takes you on horseback along the Red Sea shore and into the golden Sahara — two completely different worlds in a single, breathtaking two-hour ride.
The Hurghada horse riding experience is unlike anything else available in the Red Sea region. You'll ride well-trained, calm, and gentle horses along the beach, feeling the warm sea breeze and hearing the waves lap the shore beneath your horse's hooves. Then your guide leads you through the transition where the beach meets the desert — and suddenly you're surrounded by golden sand dunes under the endless Egyptian sky.
This combination of beach and desert in a single horseback journey is what makes the Hurghada horse riding tour so special. No other experience in Hurghada delivers two such dramatically different landscapes back to back — from turquoise shoreline to Saharan silence, all on horseback.
Your adventure begins with hotel pickup from Hurghada and a short transfer to the stables. Our experienced riding instructors greet you, introduce you to your horse, and assess your riding level. Whether you're a complete beginner or a confident rider, our instructors match you with the right horse and adapt the ride to your level.
For 2 hours, you'll explore Hurghada's most scenic coastal and desert terrain on horseback. The route takes you along the beach — past fishing boats, local fishermen, and the glittering Red Sea — before turning inland into the desert, where the dunes stretch out in every direction and the silence of the Sahara surrounds you.
Experienced riders can canter and gallop on the beach stretch. Beginners ride at a comfortable walk and trot, guided every step of the way by a professional instructor who rides alongside you.
At just €20 per person, the Hurghada horse riding tour is one of the best-value experiences on the Red Sea. Your price includes horse rental, riding helmet, experienced English-speaking instructor, hotel pickup and return transfer, and a water break during the ride.
Our horses are regularly vetted, well-cared-for, and accustomed to riders of all levels. Safety is our first priority — your instructor rides alongside you throughout, ensuring every participant feels comfortable and confident.
The best time for horse riding in Hurghada is early morning — the desert is cool, the light is golden, and the beach is quiet. We also offer afternoon and sunset rides, which are especially popular with couples and photography enthusiasts. The sunset beach ride — galloping on the shoreline as the sun dips below the desert horizon — is one of the most photographed experiences in Hurghada.
All horses are regularly checked by a veterinarian, equipped with appropriate tack, and assessed for temperament before every ride. Our instructors provide a safety briefing and basic riding lesson before departure. Riding helmets are provided and must be worn throughout.
Minimum age: 6 years old (with parental consent). Minimum height: 110 cm. Maximum rider weight: 100 kg. Pregnant women and guests with severe back problems should consult a doctor before booking.
