Excursion Description
Horse Riding & Sea Bathing — an unusual excursion in Hurghada for those who want to combine horseback riding with time by the Red Sea. A transfer picks you up from the hotel and takes you to a stable near the coast.
After a short briefing, the ride begins: first along the beach and coastal areas, then out to the sea. The pace is relaxed, and instructors accompany you the whole way and help if you have no riding experience.
The highlight of the program is swimming with the horse in the sea. This part usually lasts about 30 minutes: you can stay in the saddle or get into the water next to the animal. It's a great format for striking photos and new experiences.
After the activity, you return to the stable and take the transfer back to the hotel. The total excursion length is approximately 2–3 hours, depending on the chosen program and travel time.

Why is the price lower than at the hotel?
Hotel excursions are often sold through several middlemen, which raises the price. We work directly with local organizers and confirm the program, transfer, and terms in advance. That's why the price is lower, while the excursion itself stays the same: you're picked up, taken through the program, and brought back.
What transport is used?
It depends on the excursion and group size. It could be a car, minivan, minibus, large bus, or yacht. Air-conditioned transport is usually used for longer trips. We confirm the exact departure time and transfer format after booking.
When and how do I pay for the excursion?
Most excursions are paid on the spot: on the bus, when boarding the yacht, or at the start of the program. Prepayment usually isn't required. Exceptions apply to private trips, flights, and programs that involve tickets bought in advance or paperwork.
Are the organizers licensed?
Excursions are run by local organizers authorized to work with tourists. In Egypt, permits are required for transport, yachts, and certain routes. That's why you may sometimes be asked for your hotel details, voucher, or a passport photo — it's needed to arrange the trip, not just a formality.
Is there insurance during the excursion?
Your travel insurance usually applies throughout Egypt. If you're on an organized excursion, the local organizer is responsible for transport and the program. Before the trip, it's best to check your insurance terms, especially if you're planning diving, quad biking, or other active programs.
What should I do if I forgot something after the excursion?
Message me right away with what you lost and where it might have been left: on the bus, the yacht, or at the hotel. I'll contact the organizer. If the item is found, we can usually arrange to return it. But it's best to check your belongings before leaving the transport, since retrieving lost items afterward can be difficult.
Do I need to wait for the excursion or adjust my schedule?
After booking, I'll send you the approximate departure time. Sometimes the transfer may arrive a bit earlier or later, since tourists are picked up from different hotels. If the time changes significantly, I'll let you know in advance.
Where can I find a photographer after the excursion?
Photographers at excursions usually work independently from the organizers. If you'd like to buy photos or video, it's best to get the photographer's contact and agree on the price before paying. If you don't need photos, you can simply decline.
