3.Sunset Horseback with Dinner, Show & Stargazing

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 11 reviews · 3 - 4 hours · from $29Top rated

You’ll ride a calm, well-trained horse across Marsa Alam’s desert and Red Sea shore with an English-speaking guide. Choose a two-hour sunset ride, a four-hour VIP ride with a sea swim, or a dinner package with a Bedouin-style meal, live show, and stargazing. Hotel pickup is available from nearby resort areas.

“An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The highlight was without a doubt galloping along the beach. The horses are exceptionally calm, well-trained, and clearly very well cared for. Even as a complete beginner, I felt safe and confident the entire time. The guides are professional, attentive, and genuinely focused on the well-being of both the horses and the riders, making sure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the ride at their own pace. This is clearly a well-run stable with a lot of experience. Highly recommended for both beginners and more experienced riders. The only thing I regret is not realizing how close the stable is to the Steigenberger…”
