An evening at a gentle pace, the opposite of the adrenaline-driven outings. It starts with a sunset ride, either by carriage along the site's lanes or on horseback through the desert and along the shore, depending on the format you pick. By carriage, the route moves slowly past craft workshops, spice and essential-oil shops and fabric stalls, with a guide who shares the landmarks of local architecture and customs. On horseback, the ride opens onto the desert and then the beach, helmet provided and support all the way.
Dinner is then taken under a large tent hung with fabrics and cushions: mezze, hummus, salads, a grilled dish, rice, baladi bread and traditional desserts. The show unfolds during the meal, with belly dancing, a tanoura dancer spinning in his skirt lit from below, and live musicians on the oud, the derbouka and the ney. Bring a shawl: evenings on the edge of the desert are cool from November to March.
Good to know: the round-trip transfer from Hurghada hotels is included, with a surcharge from Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh, Safaga, El Gouna and Soma Bay. Full price from age 11, half price for children aged 5 to 11 with an adult, free under 5. The child rate is applied when we confirm your booking.
