4.Cairo: Private Arabian Horse Ride at the Giza Pyramids

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 8 reviews · from $75

Ride an Arabian horse in the desert outside the Giza Pyramids enclosure, with views of all three pyramids and hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle. Your tour assistance includes bottled water, snacks, and basic history. Expect about one hour in the saddle, not a full pyramid-site visit.

“Best suited for tourist purposes, riders will not enjoy it! The time specified (3-hour tour) refers to the entire time from pickup to return to the hotel (I was back after 2 1/2 hours!!). Riding time is 1 hour (in my case from arrival to dismounting, but the horse is not yet saddled at that point! However, I was allowed to choose. A lot of time is wasted taking photos. Why is it necessary to have a driver and a guide who doesn't explain anything along the way and doesn't even know where the "ride" is going? The guide couldn't explain the difference between this and a 2-hour tour, which…”

6.3-Hour Private Luxor Horse Carriage City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · from $50

Spend about three hours in a private horse carriage along Luxor’s Nile Corniche and through local streets. Your package includes hotel or Nile cruise pickup, bottled water, drop-off, and an Egyptologist guide. Confirm the guide’s presence before setting out, since the carriage drivers may provide only limited commentary.

“The drivers were great and super friendly. But there was no guide, and certainly not an Egyptologist. The drivers were only able to point out a few things, mostly where the hotels are. It's basically a horse carriage ride not a tour. And half of it is through city streets that are not very pretty.”
