    It was great everything, I couldn't...

    It was great everything, I couldn't contact the organizer until the last minute, but the rest was amazing, the horse spectacular and the guide very good

    Meh.

    The pick-up was very weird, not a word from the driver all the way. They didn’t prepared us a bit before going with the horses, I was a bit afraid the entire time, as it was my first time. The horses were beautiful and well taken care of. The 2 men that were with us, didn’t speak English, so it was a bit cringe all the way, as we were in silence. But they were very nice neither way, always smiling. We didn’t get the last stop, at a tent, we were left on a table, while several men were speaking behind us. We felt a weird vibe, and as we were alone all the time (no more tourists, just local men) it was a bit scary.

    A riding experience that touches my heart

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A dream riding stable – Port Ghalib Polo Club I have ridden in Egypt many times before, but the Port Ghalib Polo Club is really special. The horses have huge, clean boxes, are fantastically maintained and stand visibly well in the feed. Animal welfare always comes first here! 🐴 The right horse is selected for each rider, and the rides – whether into the desert or exclusively onto the polo field – are a real highlight every time. You can feel how well the horses are doing here, and your visit directly supports their well-being. A place full of heart, respect and passion for horses – highly recommended! 🌞🐎

    Great trip! Great horses! Highly recommended!

    We booked the excursion with 2.5 hours riding. We were picked up on time, but were also in the same place again stable. By the time we arrived the horses were already saddled and it started immediately. We got helmets and we were even offered chaps. The only negative point that the guide could only do the bare minimum in English. That's why you really should be able to ride! We rode in the desert as well as on the beach at a stretched gallop and the desert there is just rather stony and not sandy. The horses are in very good condition, not like the horses on the beach who have to farm all day. My horse pulled a small cut on the way, which the guide noticed on the way, he stopped, got off and looked at the horse first if it can continue to run. The horses are also well housed in the stable, so you can ride there without a guilty conscience. Our ride went through the desert to the beach, where great photos of us were taken (about 300 were taken afterwards). In the water you can unfortunately only ride in your step, as the ground is rocky, but it is still beautiful! Then we rode on the beach for a while and with the sunset back through the desert. Since we didn't know exactly when we'd be back, our driver asked that he be called when we were done. That worked great, in the 10 minutes we had to wait, we were shown the stable, the horses and the foals. The trip is highly recommended!

    Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marsa Alam.

    How much does Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam cost?

    +

    Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marsa Alam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Marsa Alam is not rushed.

    Is Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marsa Alam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam?

    +

    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 Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam?

    +

    Around 3 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Marsa Alam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luxor Day Trip from Marsa alam (Private), Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings, Over Day Tour From Marsa Alam to Luxor. 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 Marsa Alam?

    +

    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 Marsa Alam?

    +

    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 happens to Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Marsa Alam. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Horseback Riding Adventure in Marsa Alam?
