Spend time exploring Hurghada's diverse landscapes on horseback before finishing your adventure with the unforgettable experience of swimming alongside your horse in the Red Sea. Combining desert trails, coastal riding and time in the water, this guided excursion offers a memorable way to discover Egypt's long-standing equestrian heritage.
Your adventure begins with hotel collection before heading to the riding centre, where you'll meet your horse and receive an introduction from your experienced guide. Each horse is selected to suit the rider's confidence and ability, ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience, whether it's their first time in the saddle or they've ridden many times before.
The route starts by crossing the peaceful desert surrounding Hurghada, where winding trails lead through golden sand and rocky landscapes with impressive views stretching in every direction. As you become more comfortable with your horse, you'll continue towards the coastline, enjoying a completely different setting as the Red Sea comes into view. Riding beside the shoreline brings cooling sea breezes and plenty of opportunities to take photographs against the backdrop of the water.
The final stage of the experience is one that many visitors remember long after returning home. Once you reach a suitable section of the beach, you'll have the chance to enter the shallow waters of the Red Sea with your horse. Swimming alongside these magnificent animals creates a truly unique connection and offers an unforgettable way to end your ride before returning for refreshments and your transfer back to your accommodation.
Hurghada offers an ideal setting for horseback riding thanks to its combination of wide-open desert and beautiful Red Sea coastline. The carefully chosen riding routes showcase both environments, allowing you to experience changing scenery throughout the excursion without travelling long distances.
Beyond the resort areas, the landscape becomes quieter and more natural, creating the perfect environment for riding. The coastal section adds another dimension to the experience, with calm beaches and clear water providing an incredible setting for horse swimming when conditions allow.
No previous riding experience is needed, as friendly guides provide instruction before the ride and remain with the group throughout the experience. Horses are matched to each participant's confidence level to help everyone feel comfortable from start to finish.
Long trousers and closed-toe shoes are recommended for the riding sections, while swimwear and a towel should be brought if you'd like to enjoy the horse swimming experience. Sunglasses, sunscreen and a small amount of cash for personal purchases are also advisable.
This experience combines three unforgettable moments into one carefully planned adventure, taking you through the desert, along the beach and into the Red Sea with your horse. Experienced guides, well-trained horses and personalised attention ensure riders of all abilities can enjoy every stage with confidence.
Everything has been arranged to make the day straightforward and enjoyable, with hotel transfers, refreshments and quality equipment included. It's an excellent opportunity to experience Egypt's equestrian traditions while creating memories that are difficult to find anywhere else.
Not at all. The experience has been designed for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced riders. Before leaving the stables, your guide will explain how to ride safely, introduce you to your horse and make sure you're comfortable before the journey begins.
Throughout the excursion, the pace is adjusted to suit the group, and guides stay nearby to provide support whenever needed. If you've ridden before, you'll still enjoy the varied scenery and the opportunity to spend several hours exploring on horseback.
Towards the end of the ride, you'll reach a suitable part of the Red Sea coastline where conditions allow horses to enter the shallow water. Under the guidance of experienced staff, you'll accompany your horse into the sea, creating a unique experience that combines horse riding with swimming.
Many guests describe this as the highlight of their holiday because it offers a completely different way to interact with these remarkable animals. The guides remain close by throughout to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident in the water.
The horseback riding itself lasts for approximately three hours, giving you plenty of time to experience both the desert and coastal sections before entering the sea with your horse.
The relaxed pace allows you to enjoy the surroundings properly, spend time getting to know your horse and make regular stops to appreciate the scenery without feeling rushed.
Long trousers are recommended for the riding sections to make your time in the saddle more comfortable, while closed-toe shoes provide the best grip and stability. Since part of the experience includes entering the sea, bringing swimwear and a towel is essential if you'd like to take part in the horse swimming.
It's also a good idea to pack sunglasses and sunscreen, as much of the excursion takes place outdoors. A small bag is useful for carrying your swimming items until they're needed.
Yes. The carefully planned route takes you across Hurghada's desert trails before continuing towards the Red Sea coastline, allowing you to experience two completely different landscapes during one outing.

The horses used for the experience are chosen for their calm nature and are matched to each rider's confidence and experience wherever possible. This helps beginners feel at ease while allowing experienced riders to enjoy a horse suited to their ability.
Their welfare is also a priority, and the guides know each horse well, helping create a positive experience for both riders and animals throughout the excursion.
