read if ur a female
We booked the horse riding excursion today and while the activity itself was enjoyable, the experience with some of the staff made us feel extremely uncomfortable. One of the men was fine, but the other was very touchy and behaved inappropriately towards guests. Another female guest later told us that he had sexually harassed her while we were in the sea, which was extremely disturbing to hear. What should have been a fun and relaxing experience ended up feeling uncomfortable and unsafe at times. Staff working with tourists should behave professionally and respect personal boundaries at all times. The horses and scenery were lovely, but unfortunately the behaviour we experienced and witnessed seriously affected the overall experience.

It was okay
Horse didn’t listen and the area was not pretty

Very nice.
Great experience with small swimming on horseback

a special riding experience, I would say it is worth it!
You drive about 30min north. There are then properly groomed horses. We were about 8 people as beginners. It goes through the desert, also to take overpriced photos (it is worth negotiating). Then through a not so pretty building ruins area to the water around knee high to pull a few circles in it, is so far nice, but no riding along a beach. Then always rode a little faster. Well, I certainly didn't feel... But they seem to be able to gauge it. So all in one: a special riding experience, I would say it is worth it! PS: a rider who could ride well should also ride really fast. She had a lot of fun!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horse Riding on the Desert and the Sea from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Horse Riding on the Desert and the Sea from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horse Riding on the Desert and the Sea from Hurghada 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Horse Riding on the Desert and the Sea from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horse Riding on the Desert and the Sea from Hurghada?
+
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 Horse Riding on the Desert and the Sea from Hurghada 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 Horse Riding on the Desert and the Sea from Hurghada?
+
Around 4 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horse Riding on the Desert and the Sea from Hurghada 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. 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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
