Looking for the ultimate history and culture holiday, combined with some beach and relaxing whilst riding fabulous horses throughout, then this trip is a dream come true!

You’ll be met by your private driver inside the airport who will take you to your luxury accommodation overlooking the majestic pyramids.
Pick up around 10 and we will make the short transfer to Giza pyramids for your first ride. This ride is exhilarating due to the scenery and the varied paces we can enjoy across the open desert. After our ride we will visit the Sphinx with a guide before visiting a local restaurant for lunch.
After lunch you’ll return to your hotel to shower and change before we transfer by road to Fayoum. The drive takes around 1.5 hours. Check in at your luxury accommodation and overnight.
The Magic Lake is an obscure but beautiful lake – it got its name because it changes its colours several times each day, depending on the time of day and amount of sunlight it receives. It is a brilliant place surrounded by desert where you can enjoy riding and racing through the open landscapes, and go swimming with the horses in the lake.
Overnight at your hotel.
You are in the perfect place to ride and explore the stunning desert and its rock formations. We will drive for around 20 minutes with the horses to start our trip in the heart of the national park! The scenery is picturesque and goes on as far as the eye can see, it’s THE place for riders to enjoy plenty of fun canters and gallops. This really is an epic day in the saddle.
Tonight you will dine under the stars and sleep in luxury tents or igloos.
Today we are going off-road by 4 x 4 safari to play on the sand dunes and visit Whale Valley, home to invaluable fossil remains of the earliest, and now extinct, suborder of whales, Archaeoceti. These fossils represent one of the major stories of evolution; the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal, about 37 million years ago. This is the most important UNESCO site in the world for the demonstration of this stage of evolution.
Late afternoon we will drive by car back to Cairo. Overnight at your hotel Mena house for a cocktail and dinner.
Enjoy a relaxing morning and breakfast. We have a couple of options before our flight to Luxor in the afternoon:
Due to the popularity of Luxor we have created two experiences – those for returning guests who do not wish to sightsee again but would rather dedicate their time with us to being in the saddle, and those who are new to Luxor and wish to combine both riding and sightseeing into their stay.
In the evening all guests will enjoy dinner and belly dancing lessons on the Nile.
Dinner at our guest house.
Our sunrise balloon trail is one of our most iconic trips and even if you have done it once you will relish the chance to do it again! We rise just before sunrise when it’s dark, saddle up and head to the desert to witness the kaleidoscope of colours across the horizon as the day breaks and the hot air balloons fly over the desert.
We will return to the guesthouse for breakfast and a couple of hours to relax before checking out at 11.30. Late checks out are available on request at a small extra charge.
