Overview
A calm ride between coastline and desert scenery
Discover another side of Marsa Alam on a guided ride that brings the Red Sea coast and desert scenery into the same experience, rather than confining the outing to one or the other.
After hotel pickup, the journey to the stables gives time to arrive and settle before meeting the instructor, who explains the basics of handling the horse and fits each rider with a helmet. The ride itself follows the operator's coastal and desert route, alternating between open sand near the shoreline and drier terrain further inland, before returning to the stables and then the hotel.
One-hour and two-hour sessions are both described in the program, with a sunset option for riders who want the later light rather than a daytime ride. Which duration and timing suit you best is worth discussing when booking, along with rider eligibility and any current stable policies.

Why this trip
A quieter alternative to motorized desert outings
Seeing the shoreline and sandy terrain from horseback gives the excursion a calm, unhurried character that's quite different from the faster-paced desert driving trips.
The instructor and safety helmet described in the program are there to help riders of different experience levels feel comfortable, whether this is a first ride or a familiar activity. Choose the duration that suits your appetite for time in the saddle, wear long trousers and closed shoes, and raise any questions about rider eligibility or weight limits with the stable directly when arranging the session.
