15:00A Timeless Ride Through the Sinai Desert
Step away from the noise of the city and into the quiet rhythm of the Sinai Desert.
This horseback riding safari in Sharm El Sheikh invites you to experience the desert the Bedouin way — slow, authentic, and deeply connected to nature.
Ride a well-trained Arabian horse across golden sand dunes, winding desert trails, and dramatic mountain canyons. The landscape opens wide around you, offering a rare sense of freedom that only the desert can give.
Whether this is your first time on a horse or you’re already comfortable riding, professional instructors are always nearby to ensure safety, comfort, and confidence throughout the journey.
Sunset rides are especially popular, with softer temperatures and breathtaking golden-hour views that turn the desert into a living painting.
Available Times:
Morning: 9:00 AM
Sunset: 3:00 PM
You will be picked up directly from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh and transferred comfortably to the stables. The drive takes approximately 20 minutes.
Meet your Arabian horse, receive a short safety briefing, and begin your ride into the desert.
The route takes you through wide open plains, rolling dunes, and scenic desert paths. Ride at your own pace — enjoy a relaxed walk to absorb the surroundings or feel the thrill of a gentle gallop across the sand. Along the way, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Sinai mountains and, in the distance, the coastline of Sharm El Sheikh.
Midway through the ride, you’ll stop at a traditional Bedouin tent.
Here, you’ll experience genuine Bedouin hospitality, learn a little about desert life and local traditions, and take a quiet break with a cup of authentic Egyptian Bedouin tea — a simple moment that adds depth to the journey.
After completing the ride, your guide will escort you back to the stables, where your transfer will be waiting to return you comfortably to your hotel.
