Horseback Riding in El Gouna – Beach & Desert Ride (2 Hours)

Swap El Gouna's lagoons for open sand on a two-hour morning ride that takes you from the desert edge down to the Red Sea shore. Early starts at 7, 8 or 9 am mean cooler air, softer light for photos and quiet beaches. You'll be picked up from your hotel in El Gouna or El Ahyaa and driven to Yalla Horse stable, where your guide matches you with a calm, well-trained horse and gives a short introduction. No experience needed. Beginners are led at an easy pace, while confident riders can enjoy a bit more freedom. The route mixes desert trails with a stretch along the beach. When the season and sea conditions allow, you may get the chance to ride into the shallow water and swim with your horse. Your guide will confirm on the day. The guide stays with you the whole ride and is happy to take photos on your phone. The stable is also home to friendly cats, dogs, goats and sheep, which children especially love. The horses are well cared for in a calm, animal-friendly environment. Prefer a ride just for your family or group? Private rides are available. Contact us on WhatsApp to arrange one.
