Poor horses , we haven’t...
Poor horses , we haven’t finished the ride as we were sorry for the poor animals , after 100 meters we stopped an come back , we didn’t have heart to ride on them for 1 hour in hit heater . They were just skins and bones skin…,…not conditions that you would like to see the animals in
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. Animal welfare is extremely important to us, and we take any such concern seriously. However, we would like to clarify one important factual point. The description that the ride was stopped after approximately 100 metres does not match our documentation of the activity. We have photos and videos taken during the experience showing the guest continuing the horse ride at different points along the route. We are nevertheless reviewing the matter with our horse-riding partner and will always take appropriate action if any animal is found not to be fit for an activity. We have also provided the relevant trip documentation to Viator for review.

Loved ever minute of it. I was a group of 1 and it was completely tailored to my advanced level. Horses were in good condition as well. Great time on both beach and dessert

Desert Horse Riding: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Desert Horse Riding cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Desert Horse Riding take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Desert Horse Riding worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Desert Horse Riding?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Desert Horse Riding suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Desert Horse Riding?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Desert Horse Riding start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Desert Horse Riding?
+
Included: Safety briefing before the ride; Professional riding guide; Hotel pickup and drop-off (air-conditioned vehicle); Horse riding experience (beach & desert); and Traditional Bedouin tea. Not included: 5€ Desert entrance fees (payable on site); and Photo & video services (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Desert Horse Riding include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 343 listed pickup locations in and around Sharm el Sheikh. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Desert Horse Riding offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, Russian, English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Desert Horse Riding?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Desert Horse Riding wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Desert Horse Riding if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
