Everything was perfect we are...
Everything was perfect we left in a large group but I said that I had a good level so I went off alone with a guide and we were able to gallop a lot, the horses are well cared for I saw no thinness or injuries, everyone is very kind thanks again to Ussef who took me galloping and accompanied me Only thing to note on the 3 hours prebooked 1 hour is for the road and we still stay a bit with the group of beginners

Horseback riding trip with children
We had an unforgettable horseback riding trip with our two children! 🐎❤️ We had huge fun and felt safe and well taken care of at all times. The children felt incredibly comfortable and really blossomed during the ride. A very special thank you to Yousuf, an incredibly warm and loving person who does everything to make this experience unforgettable. Every wish we had imagined was fulfilled, and the photos turned out simply dreamlike! 📸❤️ Beautiful memories that we will keep in our hearts forever. We liked it so much that we booked another two-hour ride the very next day – and then even a third day! 😍 It is worth every cent, and we can really recommend it to everyone from the bottom of our hearts. When we are back in Hurghada, we will definitely book with Yousuf again. An experience we will never forget! ❤️🐎

Review!
Honestly I was lucky I ended up with other French people we really had a good time, the staff is super smiling and kind they explain well etc and the most important The horses are in good health well fed I did not notice any injuries or weight loss, plus 30 min before the end of the ride we came back a little earlier because they saw that the horses were thirsty!🩷 There are also some sheep and dogs and cats! Negative point, we were not offered to swim with them as proposed, but the horses just went into the water a little, that's all. And the place is a bit small for all the horses, but it's understandable given the country we are in.

Uniquely beautiful and would go again anytime.
A mega great excursion with Golden Horse Tours! 🐎🌅 The entire staff was super friendly, warm, and attentive. The horses make a very healthy and well-groomed impression – they are well-fed and by no means thin. The stable was also clean, neat, and tidy, which immediately provided a good feeling. It was my first time ever riding, and they were very accommodating about that. The team was very patient, explained everything calmly, and made me feel safe at all times. Because of that, it was no problem at all to participate as a beginner, and I was able to really enjoy the experience. The sunrise horseback ride was simply breathtaking! 🌅🐴 The landscape, the mood, and the entire atmosphere were truly unforgettable. I can absolutely recommend Golden Horse Tours and would do the excursion again anytime! ❤️ Conclusion: The next time I am here in Hurghada again, I will definitely come back to you and book with you!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hurghada Beach Desert Horseback Riding Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Safaga.
How much does Hurghada Beach Desert Horseback Riding Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $6 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Safaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hurghada Beach Desert Horseback Riding Experience 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 Safaga is not rushed.
Is Hurghada Beach Desert Horseback Riding Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Safaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hurghada Beach Desert Horseback Riding Experience?
+
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 Hurghada Beach Desert Horseback Riding Experience 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 Hurghada Beach Desert Horseback Riding Experience?
+
Around 2 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 Safaga 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 Safaga and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hurghada Beach Desert Horseback Riding Experience 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 Safaga 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 Safaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Safaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada, Full day trip to Luxor with littel Group & Tutankhamun Tomb, Hurghada Airport Private Transfer to and from All Hotels. 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 Safaga?
+
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 Safaga?
+
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.
