Day 1: Travel day. Arrive in Cairo and transfer to your guest house in Giza overlooking the Pyramids.

Day 2: We will meet for breakfast at 8.15 to catch up on the plan for today! Departure from the hotel at approximately 9am. A short journey brings us to the horses who wait patiently, eager to take you on your first adventure, an exciting ride across the desert to the pyramids at Giza.

Before we start there is a safety briefing and we explain the history of horses in the area. These proud horses are in their element out in the sand dunes. Here you will witness first-hand the incredible energy, bravery and stamina of the Egyptian horse.

Starting with a trail to the majestic Great Pyramids of Giza with your own guide to lead the way on horseback, you’ll enjoy personalized attention on your private tour of these famous symbols of Egypt’s ancient civilization.

The Great Pyramids and the Sphinx date back over 3,000 years. While there are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt, the Pyramids of Giza are by far the most famous and are the last of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Your guide will provide a fascinating introduction to each of the three pyramids: Cheops, Khafre and Menakaure. You will have free time to enter one of the smaller pyramids while your grooms tend to your horses outside.

Ride EgyptAfter visiting the pyramids, you’ll then continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background.A short ride later finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx, for thousands of years the enigmatic symbol of Egypt. The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a king, and is surrounded in mystery.

Lunch will be at a local restaurant in town followed by a visit to the Cairo Museum, home to the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world. A short, evening flight will take us down to Luxor, our base for the next four days.

Note: Domestic flights are not included in our package. Please refer to our Info & FAQ page for more information on booking your flight to Luxor.

*NEW* Motor Paragliding: Our Cairo adventures just got even more exciting! You can now opt for an unforgettable paramotor flying tour above the iconic Pyramids of Giza! Available at sunrise (6 a.m.) or for early birds at 7 a.m. Contact us to book your spot!

Day 3: Welcome to Luxor and the home of Ride Egypt! Our first horse adventure begins in the morning, where you’ll travel by tuk-tuk to the stables. Here, we will introduce you to our home and horses in our Bedouin-style yard, crafted by local Egyptians on the West Bank of the Nile. The yard features several boxes and lush plantation fields where we grow our horses’ food. Our carefree Egyptian horses graze happily in the glossy green fields, sparkling in the sunshine against the backdrop of the mountains. Our facility also houses donkeys and camels, creating a true ‘farm atmosphere.’ You’ll receive a tour of the stables and horses, and we’ll show you how we grow our food and use plants and herbs for medical issues. Enjoy an introductory ride through bustling streets, river tributaries, local villages, farmlands, and along the Nile, where you can watch feluccas sail calmly by in the late afternoon light—a perfect spot for photos with your new four-legged friend against the iconic Nile setting. Riding time approx 3-4 hours.

After a relaxed lunch back at the hotel, we’ll head out to see the Temple of Hatshepsut, an impressive mortuary temple built into the cliffs, showcasing unique terraced architecture honoring one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs. Next, we will visit the Valley of the Kings, home to 63 magnificent tombs, along with an Egyptologist whose knowledge will transport you back to the land of the Pharaohs. Here you will marvel at the tombs’ intricate hieroglyphs and the sheer size of these well-preserved catacombs. The landscape is dramatic; great cavernous cliffs of limestone and sedimentary rock with the imposing Al-Qurn, the peak of the valley, resembling a pyramid, a nod to the Old Kingdom. This site has fascinated archaeologists since the 1900s yet the area is so vast a new tomb chamber was discovered as recently as 2005.

We will end the afternoon at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have stood since 1350 BC, famous for their incredible height and historical significance.

We will wrap up the day with a fun dinner party featuring local music and dancing. Enjoy the food and the lively atmosphere as you settle into the Egyptian vibe.

Day 4: Rise and shine! It’s a new day and what better way to start it with sunrise views across Valley of the Kings! This is a 4 hour trail ride with breakfast included. A chance to see mother nature’s beauty at her best! You will return around 11am and have a couple of hours to relax and lunch before we are off again, this time it’s a non riding tour of the East bank to Karnak temple, the Avenue of the Sphinx and Luxor Museum.
