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

Trade desert dust for a Turkish bath. This Hurghada outing pairs two hours on horseback with two hours of spa time, giving you a clear change of pace in one half-day booking. I like the mix of outdoor scenery and quiet recovery, and I like that hotel pickup, safety equipment, tea, and water are included.

The main point to consider is the group size, which can reach 30 people. The horseback ride may feel less personal in a larger group, and the listed price of $40 does not include a €5 government tax or possible €10 transfer charge for several resort areas.

The ride also reaches the Red Sea coast, according to the supplied feedback, and the horse guide was praised for being friendly and attentive. One guest enjoyed the outing but wished for a link to the photos taken during the ride. Wind can also affect your comfort, so check the forecast and bring a light layer.

Key points at a glance

• Two separate two-hour experiences: Spend roughly two hours riding, then two hours at the Turkish bath, sauna, Jacuzzi, and steam bath.
• Egyptian desert-bred horses: The horses are presented as high-quality animals with the posture and grace associated with desert-bred Egyptian horses.
• Red Sea riding views: The horseback outing includes a coastal setting, adding sea views to the desert scenery.
• Hotel pickup and drop-off: An air-conditioned vehicle collects you and returns you to your hotel at the end.
• Extra costs are clear but easy to miss: Add €5 per person for the government tax, plus €10 per person for transfers from El Gouna, Safaga, Soma Bay, Makadi, or Sahl Hasheesh.
• A practical half-day choice: The experience lasts about five hours and accepts mobile tickets, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.

Two hours on horseback near Hurghada

The first part of your day is a two-hour horseback ride through the wonderful desert around Hurghada. The setting is especially appealing because the outing combines open desert with the Red Sea coast, rather than keeping you inside an enclosed riding area.

That mix gives you a different view of Hurghada. From a vehicle, the desert can pass in a blur. From the back of a horse, you move at a slower pace and have more time to notice the open ground, the sea air, and the shape of the coast.

The horses are described as genuine desert-bred Egyptian horses. That wording matters because horse quality can make or break a riding excursion. A calm, well-trained horse gives you a better chance to enjoy the scenery instead of spending the entire ride worrying about balance.

The available information does not specify the riding level required, the exact route, or how much trotting is included. If you are new to horseback riding, ask about the pace before setting out. Most people can participate, but your comfort will depend on your previous experience, confidence, and physical condition.

The ride comes with safety equipment. That is useful, though you should still wear practical clothing. Long trousers, closed shoes, and a shirt that protects your shoulders make more sense than beachwear. The desert sun can be strong, and a light layer is useful if the wind picks up near the water.

Wind is the one condition worth taking seriously. One piece of feedback described the outing as beautiful but wished for milder wind. A breezy day can make the coast feel fresh and pleasant, but strong wind may blow sand, chill you during the ride, or make the experience less comfortable.

What the coastal setting adds

A Red Sea horseback ride has a different mood from a standard desert excursion. You get the pale, open desert on one side and the coast on the other, creating a broad setting that feels far removed from Hurghada’s hotels.

The supplied feedback describes the guide as friendly and attentive. That is important on a horse ride, especially when the group includes people with different levels of experience. A guide who watches the group and listens to concerns can make the difference between a relaxed outing and a nervous one.

You may also have photos taken during the ride. One guest specifically wanted the link for retrieving those photographs, so clarify how the photo service works before leaving the stable area. Do not assume that a photo link will arrive automatically or that photographs are included in the $40 price.

The exact horse route is not listed, so I would not book this expecting a particular beach, sunset, or galloping sequence. The reliable promise is the two-hour ride, the desert setting, the Egyptian horses, and the coastal atmosphere.

Moving from saddle to Turkish bath

After the horse ride, the day changes completely. You spend another two hours in a Turkish bath setting, with access to a sauna, Jacuzzi, steam bath, and scrubbing.

That timing makes sense after a dusty outdoor activity. The spa portion gives you a chance to wash off desert grit and settle down before returning to your hotel. I like this pairing because it avoids the common problem of finishing an active excursion and then having to arrange a separate relaxation session.

The Turkish bath experience is described as a luxury spa service, with professional staff providing the treatment. The included scrubbing is likely to be the most traditional part of the hammam visit, while the sauna, steam bath, and Jacuzzi add familiar modern spa comforts.

The information does not explain the exact order of the treatments, the length of each one, or whether a massage is included. Do not assume that massage, oils, robes, or private rooms are part of the package. The confirmed inclusions are the two-hour relaxation period, scrubbing, sauna, Jacuzzi, and steam bath.

You should also remember that the spa visit comes after horseback riding. If you are sensitive to heat, plan to pace yourself in the sauna and steam bath. Water and tea are included, which is helpful, but you should still pay attention to how you feel, particularly after time in the sun.

How the five-hour schedule works

The full experience lasts about five hours. The stated activity time adds up to four hours, with the remaining time used for hotel pickup, transport, and the return journey.

The exact pickup time is not provided, so your day may not fit neatly into a fixed morning or afternoon block. Ask for the pickup details after booking, especially if you have dinner plans, a flight, or another excursion later that day.

The air-conditioned vehicle is included for hotel pickup and drop-off. That is a useful benefit in Hurghada, where even a short transfer can feel tiring in hot weather. You do not need to arrange a separate taxi for the standard pickup area.

The transfer surcharge applies to hotels in El Gouna, Safaga, Soma Bay, Makadi, and Sahl Hasheesh. It is €10 per person, paid in cash on the spot. If you are staying in one of those areas, add that cost before deciding if the excursion fits your budget.

The government value-added tax is another €5 per person, also paid in cash on the spot. In practical terms, the advertised $40 price may become $40 plus the equivalent of €5, or more if your resort requires the additional transfer. Keep small cash available so the final payment does not become a nuisance.

Is $40 good value?

At $40 per person, this is a strong value if you want both an activity and a spa visit. A two-hour horse ride alone would use much of the day, while a separate Turkish bath could add another booking and another transfer. Here, the two are joined with hotel transport and safety equipment.

The value is best for someone who would genuinely use both halves. If you only care about horseback riding, the two-hour spa session may feel like extra time you did not need. If you mainly want a hammam, you may find the horse ride more active than expected.

The price also works well for a couple or small group looking for a simple Hurghada day plan. Group discounts are offered, though the actual discount is not specified. Ask for the current rate rather than assuming that a large group will receive a particular percentage off.

The maximum group size is 30. That number does not mean every departure will contain 30 people, but it tells you that this is not guaranteed to be a private ride. A larger group can affect the riding pace, the amount of individual attention, and the quiet feel of the spa portion.

Who will enjoy this best

I would recommend this experience to you if you want a gentle combination of outdoor activity and relaxation without planning two separate bookings. It suits couples, friends, and families with mixed interests, provided everyone can take part in the horse ride.

It may also suit a first-time rider who prefers a guided outing rather than an independent riding experience. The available details say most people can participate, and safety equipment is supplied. Still, ask about the riding pace if you are uncertain or have never been on a horse.

The outing is less suitable if you want a long, fast horseback adventure. The description promises two hours on horseback, but it does not promise galloping, advanced riding, or a private guide. You should also think twice if you dislike heat, wind, dust, or spa treatments that involve scrubbing.

People staying in the central Hurghada area will get the simplest value from the package because standard hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Those staying farther away can still book, but the extra €10 transfer cost changes the calculation.

What to bring and what to confirm

You should bring comfortable trousers, closed shoes, sunscreen, and a light layer for wind. A swimsuit may be useful for the spa facilities, but the supplied details do not specifically state a dress code, so confirm what the Turkish bath requires.

Bring cash for the €5 tax and, if applicable, the €10 resort transfer fee. Tea and water are included, but you may want additional water for your own comfort before or after the activities.

At booking, confirm the pickup time, the exact hotel pickup area, the riding pace, and the photo arrangements. The photo question is worth asking because photographs may be taken, yet the method for receiving them is not clearly explained.

The experience accepts mobile tickets, and confirmation is provided when you book. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. The activity has a maximum capacity of 30 people, so you may prefer to book ahead. It is booked, on average, about nine days in advance.

Cancellation and planning details

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the experience are not refunded, and changes inside that same window are not accepted.

That policy is reasonable for a scheduled pickup and two-part activity, but it leaves little room for last-minute changes. If strong wind or illness is a concern, check the weather and your plans before the 24-hour cutoff.

The experience provider is Delight Trips. The booking includes hotel transportation, the horse ride, the Turkish bath facilities, safety equipment, tea, and water, but not the listed government tax or certain resort-area transfers.

Should you book this Hurghada experience?

Book it if you want a well-priced half-day that combines Red Sea horseback riding with a Turkish bath and sauna. The friendly, attentive guide described in the feedback is a reassuring sign, and the coastal setting gives the ride more character than a simple arena outing.

Think carefully if you need a private experience, dislike larger groups, or want a detailed riding itinerary with fast riding. Also budget for the €5 tax and possible €10 transfer charge, and ask about photo delivery before you start.

For most people staying near Hurghada who want one easy booking with both action and rest, this is a sensible choice. It is not a high-end private equestrian trip, but at $40 before the extra charges, it offers a lot in five hours.
