The Horses
The horses are local breed commonly found across Egypt, referred to as Baladi or simply Egyptian horses. These horses are native to Egypt and have mixed bloodlines with Arabian and European influences. They are spirited, forward-going, and responsive with impressive stamina for long days in the saddle. Each horse is unique, and the outfitter will do their best to match horse to rider based on riding ability and personal preferences.
Horse welfare in Egypt is a significant issue, with widespread reports of abuse, neglect, and suffering due to factors like inadequate laws, lack of education, and poverty; however, our outfitter was founded with the goal of helping some of these horses in need and giving them a second chance at a better life. If you are looking for a ride that gives back, this is it!
Accommodations & Meals
We encourage you to fully immerse yourself in the rich culture and welcoming community. Homecooked meals, visits to local markets, and performances of traditional Egyptian music are all on the agenda while you enjoy your stay in luxury accommodations. Maybe even learn a little Arabic! We want you to feel like a local while you’re here.
Curated Experiences
From watching vibrant hot air balloons take off at sunrise, viewing from horseback as they float above the riders and over the Valley of the Kings to riding through the Nile River, breathtaking experiences await you in this culturally rich location.
