Sunset Horse Ride in the Desert
Tour description: Sunset Horse Ride in the Desert
Imagine: a warm evening breeze, the horizon painted gold and crimson, a warm living horse beneath you, and the vast Sinai desert all around. This is not a theme-park ride or a scheduled photo session - it is a genuine moment of freedom you will remember for life.
A sunset horse ride is one of the most romantic and memorable ways to spend an evening in Sharm el-Sheikh. As the sun slowly sinks behind the Sinai mountains, you move through the open desert on horseback - no crowds of tourists, no resort noise, just silence, nature, and a sense of complete freedom.
The horses are calm and obedient, suitable even for first-timers who have never sat in a saddle. An experienced instructor stays close throughout, explains everything from scratch, and helps you feel confident from the very first minutes. Children and beginners are welcome.
After the ride, you are treated to authentic Bedouin tea by the campfire - a simple but wonderfully atmospheric moment that many guests describe as their favourite memory of Egypt.
For group tours a white Toyota minibus picks you up - round-trip hotel transfer is included in the price.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. Beginners are given calm, gentle horses. The instructor leads a short briefing of 5-10 minutes. A gallop is available only for experienced riders on request.
Can children join?
Yes, children are welcome. Please let us know your child's age when booking and we will match them with the right horse.
Are there any restrictions?
Weight limit: up to 90-100 kg. Not recommended during pregnancy.
Is prepayment required?
No. Payment is on the day of the tour: $, €, ₽ or card.

Tourist reviews: Sunset Horse Ride in the Desert
That was the most beautiful evening of the whole trip. Watching the sunset from horseback is truly extraordinary. The horse was so calm - it was my first time ever riding and I wasn't nervous for a moment. Bedouin tea by the fire was the perfect ending. Thank you for organising this!
We booked this for our wedding anniversary. Two horses, a sunset, the desert - it sounds like a fairytale, and it really was! The instructor organised everything brilliantly. The Bedouin camp was wonderfully atmospheric. We would definitely recommend it to couples!
Our daughter is 8 and she was absolutely thrilled! They put her on a gentle horse and stayed with her every step of the way. The sunset was just stunning. We added the upgrade - 2 hours instead of 1 - and it was worth every cent. Highly recommended!
I added the upgrade - horse swimming in the sea. It was simply WOW! There is nothing else like it anywhere. The horse walks into the sea, starts swimming, and you stay on - the feeling is beyond words. Worth every dollar.
