“Our guides Yusuf and Mohamed were brilliant. They made sure my 9 year old who had never been on a horse before was having a good time and made sure myself and my older son could gallop a lot as we are experienced riders. They also made sure my partner who is not as experienced was able to push himself a bit as well. The guided took plenty pictures and even filmed me galloping along the beach. The food at the bbq was delicious as well. All in all e would all highly recommend this trip for all.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 203 reviews · from $41

You’ll ride for about an hour through desert valleys, stop for sunset photos, eat BBQ dinner at a desert oasis, and join a guided stargazing session. Hotel transfers, riding gear, tea or coffee, soft drinks, and a telescope session are included. Guides speak several languages, including English, German, French, Russian, Arabic, and Spanish.

“It was a great experience and worth the money. The jeep trip is very extreme so prepare yourself. For me as a man it was ok. For my wife it was very scary. They drive with + 100 kmh in the desert. You have to sit in the back without seatbelts. For me it was cool but very dangerous. The stars part was very beatiful and the guide Adam was amazing. The horse ride was also very cool, but prepare yourself for the sun in the desert. Its more hot than in your resort.”

“I had an unforgettable experience horse riding on the beach in Marsa Alam! From start to finish, everything was beautifully organized and felt incredibly special. Riding along the coastline and the sun setting over the Red Sea was truly magical – like something out of a movie. What really stood out to me was how well the horses are treated. They are clearly loved, well-fed, and very well cared for. You can immediately tell they are happy and healthy, and that the handlers have a deep bond with them. As an animal lover, this made the experience even more meaningful and enjoyable. The staff were professional, friendly, and made sure…”
