Horse Riding 2 Hours & Relaxation Turkish Bath & Sauna – Hurghada

The unusual pairing is the appeal here: two hours on horseback followed by two hours of Turkish bath care. You get a look at Hurghada from the saddle, then a warm, quiet finish with scrubbing, sauna, Jacuzzi, and steam bath.

I like the authentic desert-bred Egyptian horses and the fact that hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, safety equipment, tea, and water are included. I also like the simple value of pairing an active outing with a spa visit. The main consideration is wind, which can make the ride less comfortable, and the advertised $40 price does not include the five-euro government tax.

Key points at a glance

• Two very different activities: Ride for two hours, then spend two hours in a Turkish bath, sauna, Jacuzzi, and steam bath.
• Desert-bred Egyptian horses: The experience focuses on horses known for their desert breeding, posture, and graceful movement.
• Red Sea setting: The ride can include views along the Red Sea coast, with wind sometimes affecting comfort.
• Hotel pickup and return: Transport in an air-conditioned vehicle is included for the main Hurghada pickup area.
• Extra charges to plan for: A five-euro tax is paid in cash, with a further ten-euro transfer fee from several outlying resorts.
• Small detail worth checking: Photos may be taken during the ride, but you should confirm how you will receive them.

From Hurghada pickup to the horse yard

Your day begins with hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle. The exact pickup time is not stated, so you should check the confirmation carefully and allow a little flexibility around the start of the five-hour outing.

That transport matters in Hurghada. A ride that includes pickup and drop-off is easier than arranging a separate taxi to a horse facility and then finding another way to a spa. It also keeps the day in one booking, with the same experience ending back at your hotel.

The tour accepts mobile tickets, and confirmation is issued when you book. The advertised group limit is 30 people. That is a reasonable maximum for a shared excursion, though it is large enough that the pace and personal attention could vary depending on the number who actually join.

A five-euro governmental value-added tax is not included in the listed price. You pay it in cash on the spot. If you are staying in El Gouna, Safaga, Soma Bay, Makadi, or Sahl Hasheesh, add another ten euros per person for the transfer, also paid in cash. These fees change the real cost, so include them when comparing this outing with other horse rides in Hurghada.

Two hours with Egyptian desert-bred horses

The riding portion lasts two hours and takes place in the desert area around Hurghada. The experience is built around Egyptian horses bred for desert conditions, with emphasis on their posture and graceful movement.

That gives the ride a stronger local character than a basic beach or resort activity. You are not simply being placed on any available horse for a short loop. The stated focus is on the breed and the way these horses move, which should appeal to anyone interested in horses as well as anyone wanting a different view of Egypt.

The supplied information describes a wonderful desert setting, while one French-language review specifically praises a ride along the Red Sea. You may therefore get a mix of open desert and sea views, depending on the route and conditions on the day. The coast adds visual interest, but you should also be ready for wind. A German-language review found the outing beautiful and recommended it, while noting that calmer wind would have made it better.

That is useful advice. Bring secure clothing and expect the weather to matter. Wind is not a minor detail on horseback, especially during a two-hour ride. The tour includes safety equipment, but the supplied details do not say what type of equipment is provided, so you should ask if you have a particular need.

The horse ride is likely to suit people who want a relaxed introduction rather than a technical riding lesson. The details do not promise advanced instruction, fast riding, or a particular riding skill level. Most people can participate, but you should be comfortable with the idea of spending two hours on horseback. If you have limited riding experience, ask about the pace and route before setting out.

One clear strength is the reported care from the riding escort. The French review praises the accompanying guide as friendly and attentive. No guide name is provided, so I cannot give you a name to look for, but that description points to the kind of personal help that matters when riders have different levels of confidence.

Photos may also be taken during the ride. One practical wrinkle is that the way to collect those photos was not clear. If you want them, ask before leaving the horse yard how they will be sent or where you can retrieve them. That takes a moment and can save you from chasing the images later.

What the ride is best at

This is not only a horse ride. It is a chance to spend time outside the usual Hurghada hotel zone and see Egypt from a slower, higher viewpoint.

A two-hour ride gives you more time than a short photo stop or quick circuit. You can settle into the horse’s rhythm and watch the setting change. Still, the tour details do not state whether the horses walk, trot, or follow a set riding program, so do not book it expecting an energetic gallop unless the operator confirms that in advance.

The ride also works well for couples, friends, and families with members who want different things from the same afternoon. One person can enjoy the horses, while another may look forward most to the bath and Jacuzzi. The shared format makes it easier to combine activity and relaxation without booking two separate excursions.

The maximum group size of 30 means the experience is not designed as a private riding lesson. If you value quiet or one-to-one instruction, ask about private options before booking. If you are happy with a shared outing, the group format helps keep the listed price moderate.

Turkish Hammam, scrubbing, and warm water

After the horse ride, the experience shifts from open air to the Turkish bath. You receive two hours of relaxation, with access to a sauna, Jacuzzi, steam bath, and scrubbing.

This second half is what separates the tour from a standard Hurghada horse excursion. Riding can leave you warm, dusty, or simply ready to sit down. The hammam gives you a slower ending, with heat and water-based treatments rather than another scheduled sightseeing stop.

The word scrubbing is important. This is not described as only sitting in a sauna. Professional staff provide the bath service, and the scrubbing is part of the treatment. The supplied information does not specify the exact order of the sauna, steam bath, Jacuzzi, and scrub, nor does it describe the treatment length for each one. You should follow the staff’s instructions and ask about the sequence if you prefer to know what happens next.

The Turkish bath is presented as a luxury spa experience, but it is wise to keep expectations measured. The listed inclusions cover the two-hour bath period, sauna, Jacuzzi, steam bath, and scrubbing. They do not mention massages, oils, meals, robes, lockers, or other spa extras. If one of those matters to you, ask before booking rather than assuming it is part of the package.

Tea and water are included. That is a modest but useful touch after the ride and during the bath visit. The tour does not include a meal, so plan around that if your five-hour schedule overlaps lunch or dinner.

Is the $40 price good value?

At $40 per person, this is good value if you want both riding and spa time in one outing. The package includes two hours of horseback riding, two hours in the Turkish bath, safety equipment, tea, water, hotel pickup, hotel drop-off, and air-conditioned transport.

The value is strongest for someone who would otherwise pay separately for a horse ride and a hammam. You also avoid arranging transport between activities. The price is less attractive if you only want to ride, since part of the cost covers the bath and the time spent there.

Remember that the base price is not the complete cash cost. Add the five-euro government tax for everyone. Add ten euros more if you need pickup from El Gouna, Safaga, Soma Bay, Makadi, or Sahl Hasheesh. For those resort areas, the total becomes $40 plus the listed euro fees, with payment details handled on the spot.

Group discounts are offered, though the discount amount is not stated. If you are booking for several people, ask for the final group price before paying. Since the experience is booked about nine days ahead on average, it is sensible to reserve in advance if your schedule is fixed, especially during a busy holiday period.

Who should book this Hurghada experience?

I would point this outing toward a few specific types of visitor.

First, it suits you if you want an activity with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Pickup gets you out of the hotel, the horse ride provides the active part, and the Turkish bath lets you slow down before returning.

Second, it suits you if you like variety. A full day of sightseeing can be tiring, while a full spa session may feel too passive. This package gives you both movement and rest.

Third, it works for people who want to try horseback riding without making it the only event of the day. The two-hour duration is long enough to feel substantial, but the spa portion gives you something to look forward to if the ride is windier or more demanding than expected.

You may want to choose another activity if you need a private guide, a named instructor, advanced riding, or a guaranteed quiet spa. None of those features is promised. The maximum group size is 30, and the riding pace and bath sequence are not explained in detail.

The experience allows service animals, and most people can participate. That said, the supplied details do not spell out specific accessibility arrangements for the vehicle, horse mounting, or Turkish bath. If you need adapted access or assistance, contact the provider before booking.

Practical advice before you go

Wear clothing that lets you sit comfortably for two hours. Since wind can be a factor near the Red Sea, secure anything loose and take the weather seriously. The information does not list a dress code, so confirm what is suitable for the Turkish bath as well.

Keep five euros in cash for the government tax. If you are staying in one of the listed resort areas, keep another ten euros per person ready for the transfer fee. These are small amounts, but forgetting them creates needless hassle at the start of a relaxed day.

Take your mobile ticket and booking confirmation with you. The tour includes safety equipment, but you should still ask what is supplied and what you need to bring. Tea and water are included, while food is not.

If you care about ride photos, ask the escort or staff how to receive them before the outing ends. The photo process is the one specific detail that deserves a quick check, since the availability of photos and the delivery link are not fully explained.

The cancellation policy is forgiving if your plans change early. Cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted.

Final call: book it for variety, not advanced riding

I would book this experience if you want a moderate-priced Hurghada outing that combines Egyptian horseback riding and four types of spa relaxation. The friendly, attentive riding escort, the desert-bred horses, the possible Red Sea views, and the included hotel transfer give the day a useful sense of place and convenience.

I would pause if your main goal is serious riding or a private, highly tailored spa visit. The tour does not promise advanced riding, a named guide, a private group, or detailed treatment choices. Also budget for the five-euro tax and any ten-euro resort transfer charge.

For most people, the strongest reason to book is balance. You get two active hours, two restful hours, and no need to arrange the transport yourself. Keep an eye on the wind, confirm the pickup and photo details, and this should be a pleasant way to add both desert scenery and Turkish bath time to a Hurghada stay.
