Review of Hurghada’s 3-hour horse ride through desert, beach, and Red Sea, including price, itinerary, safety, horse welfare, and practical tips.

“Absolutely avoid at all costs! The horses were in such poor condition, that despite already paying, as soon as I saw the state they were in, I asked to be taken back to the hotel. The horses were so skinny with sunken backs, their spines showing and bones sticking out. I have reported to Viator to stop advertising this place as its disgusting. Anyone that uses this place needs to question their morals on animal cruelty”
