Program
Daily itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Hurghada with a transfer to your hotel
Welcome to Hurghada! The team will greet you at the airport and arrange a smooth transfer to your hotel, where you can rest and prepare for the exciting days ahead.
Day 2: Introductory ride, swim with horses, and quad safari
Good morning, beautiful Hurghada! Today marks one of the most anticipated highlights of the itinerary: swimming with horses in the crystal-clear Red Sea. After a relaxing breakfast, they will introduce you to the horses and stable. You will begin with a two-hour introductory ride through the desert to the beach, where you will remove the saddles and swim bareback with the horses in the tranquil, crystal-clear waters. After a refreshing swim, you will enjoy a beachside lunch.
You will have a couple of hours to relax by the pool or in the sea before you head off for a quad bike safari in the eastern desert, including a visit to a Bedouin camp for tea. The quad bike adventure starts at around 2:00 p.m. and includes meeting the snake man and enjoying tea with the Bedouins. You will Zoom through the desert and enjoy a fast-paced drive back in time for sunset. Dinner will be served at a local restaurant.
- Riding time: approximately three to four hours for horses and three hours for quad bikes
Day 3: Full-day boat safari with wild dolphins
Get ready for a full-day adventure on the water. Today, they will take you to Dolphin House, where you can swim with playful wild dolphins and explore two stunning snorkeling sites around the reefs of Hurghada. Onboard, you will be treated to a delicious lunch by the wonderful crew. The trip runs approximately from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. You will visit three great snorkeling spots, including Dolphin House. For those playful customers, there is some fun to be had with banana inflatables and other games before sailing back. Dinner will be served at the guest house.
Day 4: Half-day Bedouin trail and souk shopping
This morning, you wake up early for a breathtaking sunrise ride through the majestic mountains. This half-day trail ride starts early to avoid the midday sun, finishing around 11:30 a.m. You may not love it when your alarm goes off, but you will love watching a new day dawn from horseback across the desert. There are plenty of places to fly with the horses.
After a much-deserved lunch at the guest house, you can relax or book a massage. They also offer the option to go shopping at the local souk for jewelry, corals, or precious stones. Shopping in Hurghada is a great fun holiday activity, especially if you enjoy haggling. For those who do not like haggling, they will be on hand to help you get the best prices. Dinner will be at a local restaurant.
Day 5: You decide
Today gives you the chance to do what you love. You can try kite surfing, go on a 4×4 safari, visit Luxor for the day, or ride more horses. They will be happy to provide you with any experience your heart desires.
Day 6: Half-day ride, lunch, and check out
