Tour Overview

Feel the timeless elegance of the desert on horseback! The Horse Riding Desert Safari lets you ride beautiful, purebred Arabian horses across serene golden dunes far away from noisy traffic and engines. We pick you up from your hotel and bring you to a premier desert equestrian stable. Meet your professional riding instructor, who will match you with a calm, well-trained horse suited to your experience level. Whether you have never ridden a horse before or you ride regularly, our guides make sure you feel relaxed and confident. Put on your riding helmet and set out on a guided trek across rolling desert sand trails. Feel the gentle rhythm of your horse as you take in sweeping panoramic views of the sand dunes. At sunset, the golden light makes for breathtaking photos. After your ride, you can either return to your hotel or continue to our desert camp for camel rides, a 5-star BBQ dinner, and live evening shows.
