Experience the magic of Ride Egypt in Cairo, Luxor & Hurghada

Picture miles and miles of open desert, surrounded by colossal mountains and the burning rays of the sun glistening on the sand. Lush green palm trees blowing gently in the breeze and sheltering the shallows of the Nile where water buffalo graze, and the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea lapping against the fine golden sand.

'My week of Arab stallions made so many dreams come true. Galloping along the pyramids, in the desert, swimming with beautiful horses in the red sea or watching Egypt's breath taking sunrise/sunset. The horses are well taken care of and loved. I did the tour about Palms, Pyramids and Pharaoh's. Emma and her team are very good to the horses and really want you to have the best time. Not only for riding experiences I've never imagined to live one day, also for the non-riding time I am so happy about our experiences. We had very knowledgeable guides and learned a lot about Egyptian history. Emma and the team are happy to share what Egyptian culture means and are very authentic. My personal non-riding highlight was a dinner cruise on river Nile after the visit of Luxor temple. If you're still considering to go, I recommend you book before your desired tour is sold out. Thank you so much Emma & team, I hope to come back :)' - December 2022

'There are not enough words to describe how amazing my trip has been. Ride Egypt definitely exceeded all of my expectations. Emma and the whole team were just wonderful the whole time, the guides and our drivers looked after us so well and we had so much fun with them. The horses are so lovely and there is a whole variety to suit different riders and levels. Galloping across the desert on an Egyptian stallion is something I will never forget - I’m already planning my return! Thank you Ride Egypt - Yalla!!!' - November 2022
