Horse riding in Sharm El Sheikh lets you choose between a desert trail, a ride along the Nabq shoreline and mangroves, or a canyon route through the Nabq area, with hotel pickup and a horse matched to your level. Rides run in the morning, afternoon and at sunset, and the most popular option is one hour in the saddle.
You don’t need any riding experience. First-timers can be led on a lead rein at a slow pace, while confident riders get more freedom to steer. It works well for families, couples and anyone who wants a quieter side of Sinai than the beach resorts.
The day starts with a pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned minibus. The stables sit near Nabq, on the edge of the desert north of the resort area, so the drive is short.
At the stables you meet the instructors and grooms. They ask about your riding experience, then pick a horse to match. A nervous beginner gets a calm, steady horse, and an experienced rider gets one with a bit more energy.
Before you mount, the instructor runs a short safety briefing and shows you how to hold the reins and sit correctly. Helmets are handed out, and chaps too if you want them. This part matters more than people expect, so listen closely even if you’ve ridden before.
Local tip: in summer, the afternoon and sunset slots are the most comfortable, since the midday sun in Sinai is harsh on both riders and horses.
The classic option. You ride across sand tracks and soft dunes with the Sinai mountains on the horizon, taking gentle climbs at an easy pace. The route includes a stop at a Bedouin tent for mint tea. It’s the calmest and most scenic of the three.
This route follows the shoreline at Nabq, where the mangroves grow right at the water’s edge. The sea breeze keeps it cooler than the desert, and it’s at its best close to sunset. [CONFIRM: Experienced riders can take their horse into the shallow water.]
A mix of desert plateau and low, rocky wadis inside the Nabq area. The views change more often than on the other routes, and you may spot wildlife along the way. Photographers usually pick this one.
