Horseback Riding on Beach & Desert from Sharm el Sheikh

Ride the beach or desert on horseback, with a trainer who stays with you the whole way

Horseback riding in Sharm el Sheikh includes hotel pickup, a safety briefing from professional trainers, and your choice of one or two hours riding along the beach or through the desert. A guide accompanies inexperienced riders throughout, and your driver waits to transfer you back to your hotel when the ride ends.

The Experience

A comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel and takes you to the riding area. Before you mount, professional horse trainers walk through every safety measure in detail—this matters whether you've ridden before or never touched a saddle. The briefing covers how to hold the reins, how the horse responds, and what to expect on the trail ahead.

You then spend one or two hours in the saddle, your choice. The beach route lets you ride along the water's edge; the desert route takes you inland through the dunes. If you're new to riding, a knowledgeable guide stays with you the entire time, teaching you the basics and watching for any sign you need help. Even inexperienced riders find the pace manageable—the experience is built around genuine comfort, not proving anything. When the ride ends, your driver is waiting to bring you back to your hotel.

The helmet is provided. All taxes and fees are included in the price. You choose the route and the duration at checkout—one hour or two hours, beach or desert—so the day fits what you actually want to do.

Is this one for you?Choose the one-hour option if you want a quick taste of riding without a long time commitment; go for two hours if you're comfortable in the saddle and want to cover more ground. Pick the beach if you prefer the water view, or the desert if you want the dunes—either way, the trainer stays with you and the schedule is built around your pace, not a group's.

Top questions

Can I ride on the beach if I've never been on a horse before?

Yes. Professional trainers give a full safety briefing before you start, and a guide stays with you throughout the ride to teach you the basics and keep you safe. The experience is designed for all fitness levels, including first-time riders.

How long does the whole experience take, including pickup and transfer?

The ride itself is one or two hours depending on which option you choose. Add time for the pickup from your hotel, the safety briefing, and the return transfer—plan for a morning or afternoon block of time rather than a quick outing.

What's the difference between the beach and desert routes?

The beach route follows the shoreline along the water; the desert route takes you through the dunes inland. Both are available in one-hour or two-hour options, so you pick the landscape and the duration that appeal to you.

Is the hotel pickup included?

Yes. You're picked up from your Sharm el Sheikh hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and dropped off there when the ride ends.

What should I bring or wear?

Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes suitable for riding. A safety helmet is provided. The trainers will advise you on anything else you need to know before you start.
