In Hurghada you only have to turn your back on the Red Sea for the desert to appear. This two-hour ride plays on that contrast: you set off on the coast side, then the horses head inland, into a wide plain of ochre sand closed off in the distance by jagged mountains.
You start at a walk, time enough for everyone to find their seat, before lengthening the pace on the open stretches. The horses, used to desert country, keep a steady rhythm with the guides alongside.
No experience is needed, but bring long trousers and closed shoes.
