★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 223 reviews · from $14

Spend about two hours on horseback, riding through Hurghada’s desert and along the beach, with a trainer such as Ahmed or Mohammad nearby. Hotel pickup, an air-conditioned transfer, helmets, water, and tea are included. The advertised sea ride deserves clarification, since time in the water may be brief.

“I did this as a private excursion with my husband and overall it was a good experience. Including round trip from our hotel, the experience lasted about 2 hours, so we probably were on the horses for a total of 1 hour 15mins. The horses did appear under weight but they were well behaved and our instructor handled them well and was quite entertaining. Although the experience was shorter than planned it was still worth the money.”
