Horse Riding Hurghada from Makadi Bay – Ride Through the Desert and Along the Red Sea

About this activity

Horse Riding Hurghada from Makadi Bay – There are adventures that stay in your memory for a lifetime — and horseback riding along Egypt’s Red Sea coast is one of them. Imagine galloping through golden desert sands as the sun dips low behind the mountains, then slowing your pace to a gentle walk as the Red Sea sparkles beside you.

This is not just a tour. It’s a journey through time and nature — a chance to experience the soul of Egypt the way its ancient travelers once did: on horseback.

The Spirit of Egypt on Horseback

Horses have always held a special place in Egyptian history. From the Pharaohs’ chariots to the Bedouin tribes who rode freely through the sands, the bond between horse and rider runs deep here.

In Makadi Bay, this tradition continues — but with a modern twist. It’s where desert adventure meets seaside serenity, offering travelers a rare opportunity to explore both landscapes in one unforgettable ride.

From Stable to Saddle – Starting Your Adventure

Your journey begins with a hotel pickup from Makadi Bay, followed by a short drive to a local horse farm surrounded by open desert.

Here, the experience feels personal from the very start. The professional trainers take time to introduce you to your horse, carefully matching each rider with the right companion based on experience and comfort level.

Whether you’re a seasoned rider or stepping into the stirrups for the first time, you’ll receive friendly guidance on handling, posture, and communication — because a relaxed rider means a happy horse.

Galloping Through the Desert Sands

The ride begins as the morning sun paints the desert in shades of amber and gold. The air is still, the only sound is the rhythmic beat of hooves on sand.

Soon, the world narrows to you, your horse, and the horizon. The Makadi desert stretches endlessly, dotted with rugged hills and whispering dunes. Each step feels like freedom — raw, unfiltered, and exhilarating.

If you choose the longer ride, you’ll have time to explore deeper into the dunes, watching as the landscape changes color with the moving sun. It’s easy to understand why riders call it a “soul-cleansing” experience.

Beach Ride by the Red Sea – A Magical Experience

As your path curves toward the sea, the desert silence gives way to the soft rush of waves. Ahead lies the Red Sea, shimmering beneath the sky like liquid sapphire.

Riding along the shoreline is pure joy — your horse’s hooves splashing through shallow water, sea spray cooling your skin, the salty breeze tangling in your hair. It’s both peaceful and thrilling at once — a moment where time seems to pause.

Many riders say the beach ride at sunset is the highlight — the fiery sky mirrored on the wet sand, the calm sea breathing slowly beside you. It’s a memory that photographs can never quite capture.

Suitable for Everyone – From Beginners to Experts

One of the best things about this experience is how inclusive it is. You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy it. The trainers guide you gently, ensuring safety and confidence from the first step.

• 1-hour ride – Ideal for beginners or families.
