🏇 Horse Riding Hurghada – Beach & Desert Horseback Adventure
Swap the hotel pool for a real adventure with our Horse Riding Hurghada trip. Ride gentle, well-trained Arabian horses through the golden desert and, when conditions allow, enjoy moments in the shallow water by the Red Sea. It is a relaxed, small-group experience suitable for both beginners and confident riders.
Choose between a 2-hour horse ride for a quick sunrise or sunset escape, or a more immersive 3-hour horse riding tour in Hurghada with extra time for photos, trotting and enjoying the desert silence. Our guides match each rider with the right horse and help you feel safe from the first minute.
Horseback riding is one of the most memorable Hurghada excursions for couples, solo travelers and families with older kids. If you want to combine it with a sea day, check also Aden Island Hurghada Trip 2026 or Hurghada Snorkeling Trips.
