Ride Egypt - Horse Riding in Luxor, Cairo, White Desert & Red Sea

Welcome to Ride Egypt

Where Horses & History Meet

To ride an Arabian horse is to feel pure freedom. Their power, trust, and zest for life carry you across golden deserts, along the Nile, and through the timeless wonders of Egypt. They nicker in happiness, dance in the sunshine, and welcome you into their home — and ours. I’m Emma, a British horsewoman who founded Ride Egypt 11 years ago after rescuing three horses on a beach in Dahab. What began as a small stable has grown into a herd of 45 beloved horses and unforgettable riding adventures across Cairo, Luxor, the White Desert, the Red Sea, Aswan, and beyond. Every journey is hand-designed and personally guided by myself and my team, combining the beauty of Egypt, the bond of horse and rider, and authentic experiences you’ll remember forever.

One of the most memorable experiences ever. The horses are beautiful and well looked after... Truly happy horses. The whole trip was extremely smooth and well-organized. Food was incredible. The landscape was otherworldly. Will definitely return.

This was my 4th riding trip with Ride Egypt, and it certainly did not disappoint! The experiences - our trip began with a reunion on the rooftop of our hotel with a view of the pyramids. And of course how can you go to Cairo without indulging in a ride by one of the seven wonders of the world. We then went to Ride Egypt's newest destination: Bahariya. The national parks of the Black and White Deserts are beautiful, and the riding was simply breathtaking. We had an option to camp overnight in the White Desert, which was fantastic. We topped off the trip with a few days in Luxor, the home of Ride Egypt. This is always a favourite of mine, and believe me the stables are a little paradise. We had the chance to go hot air ballooning over the Valley of the Kings at sunrise, followed by a morning ride to breakfast and my favourite temple at Madinat Habu. The horses - always a highlight, these horses are beautiful and they are proud to do their jobs. Nothing beats riding a horse in peak health and fitness, ears forward and ready to go. We had some fantastic gallons, and some beautifully collected canters - they are so well trained, and simply a joy to ride.The people - in my mind Ride Egypt has a winning formula anyway, but what makes these trips really special is Emma and the incredible team she has built around her. Such kind, generous and fun individuals, but when you put them together they really are family, and I always carry Ride Egypt in my heart. Always look forward to coming "home" again, until next time!

 Verified White and black desert with Dahab add on- My second trip with Ride Egypt and definately not the last! MAGIC!
I toured with RideEgypt in March as a solo traveler on the Mini Break in Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada. On this tour, I met two other incredible solo travelers and we planned to come again in October- this time for the Black and White Desert with Dahab extension! We were combined with another large group of friends who were so much fun! How amazing to meet so many amazing people from all around the world(and even plan to visit and plan more riding adventures)! Now let's talk about the team and the horses- the heart of Ride Egypt!Emma- You are an absolute inspiration and I'm happy to call you a friend after our second trip together! Gemma is amazing, handling all questions and touching base the entire trip to make sure all is well(even checking on me when I planned a solo side quest 😅) The guides and grooms are absolutely fantastic and make you feel so comfortable and at home. They're right there with you the entire time... from helping you mount, adjusting stirrups, giving you tips about each individual horse, making sure you drink water, taking AMAZING photos and videos for you, and much more! Saber and Yousef, thank you for everything that you do and for such a magical trip! From meals, to riding, to pool time, and bonfires/parties at night- It was a pleasure to get to spend so much time together and get to know you! The team is a huge part of what makes Ride Egypt so special- you come as a guest and leave as family! And the horses........oh the horses. I rode Baraket(white and black desert), Aslan(Cairo), and Dahab and Shakira(Dahab)- and every single one was exactly the right mix of spirit/speed with manners/kindness. The team is absolutely phenomenal at picking horses based on your riding experience and I've been wildly happy with EVERY Ride Egypt horse! They're all very well looked after, well fed, good hooves, great fitting tack, and insanely well trained- obviously so very loved! I will say it again, the team and the horses are the heart of Ride Egypt.The destinations on the trip were absolutely magical and bucket list worthy! -The Black desert- Black volcanic ash and open spaces as far as you can see. Perfect for yallas and gallops!-The White desert- Imagine other worldly rock formations and stunning sand. -The Bahariya Oasis and Tsila Lodge- Tropical palm trees(with delicious dates) set in a desert. A true oasis that feels like a mirage. Beautiful lodge, stunning pool, and the horses are just a short walk away! I loved saying goodnight to Baraket each night we were here!-Cairo/Giza- A gallop past the pyramids and staring at the sphinx is a necessary staple of any Egypt trip!-Dahab- This place is MAGIC. Caribbean blue water meets dusty canyons and the Sinai mountains. The hotel is an absolute dream- think ocean views from your balcony, amazing pool, open air restaurant. The blue hole was absolutely amazing for snorkeling and I loved swimming horses in the blue lagoon! This trip is absolutely bucket list worthy. So magical and something that I will dream about forever. If you're a solo traveler or traveling with friends/family- do not second guess this trip...just book it! The destinations are dreamy, the horses are absolutely perfect, and the team truly treats you like family. Sending all the love to Emma, Gemma, Yousef, Saber, the horses, and the entire team. Until next time, love you and yalla habibi! ❤️

My 2nd riding holiday with the amazing Ride Egypt and wow! From the minute you arrive in Cairo you are looked after by Emma and her amazing Team. My trip was to the Black and White Deserts, an amazing tranquil other worldly experience. Riding the most beautiful Arabian horses with long open gallops and camping under the stars. Base was a fabulous Lodge run by local Bedouins, total comfort and amazing food. Last days ride was around the iconic Pyramids with a guided tour to the new Grand Egyptian Museum. I had the absolute best time. Huge thanks to Emma and her incredible Team and a very big thank you to Yousef our brilliant guide. But the biggest thanks goes to all Ride Egypts horses who are now living their best lives and giving us ours 🥰

 Verified My Second Ride Egypt Adventure – Even More Magical Than the First ❤️🐎
Coming back to Egypt with Ride Egypt for the second time this year felt like coming home. From the Black & White Desert to Giza, Dahab (♥️) and Luxor, every moment was filled with beauty, emotion, and freedom.The horses are so well cared for, full of heart and spirit yet gentle and trusting. You can truly feel the love and respect they receive every single day. Riding them through the desert, along the Red Sea, and past ancient temples and Pyramids was simply unforgettable.The grooms and guides are the kindest, most genuine people – always smiling, always there to help, and so passionate about what they do. Their warmth makes the whole experience even more special.A special thank you to Yousef and Emma for giving me the talk I needed to trust myself that I was able to ride stallionsMassive thank you to Saber ,Ahmed, Gemma and Emma for making sure that I had all I needed for my solo stay in Luxor 😊And once again, I met the most amazing people – riders who started as strangers and quickly became friend as I did last March with Dani and Cassie who were part of this trip aswell. We laughed, shared incredible memories, and we’re already planning our next Ride Egypt adventure together next year.This wasn’t just another trip – it was a journey of connection, freedom, and pure joy. My heart is full, and I can’t wait to be back. ❤️
