Overview

This scenic horseback ride takes you through the desert surrounding the Giza Pyramids. You will move at a leisurely pace across the open sand and enjoy a quiet, close-up setting for the ancient monuments. From the desert you will see panoramic views of the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx from a perspective that is different to the views from the plateau. Along the way you will have opportunities to take striking photos as the monuments rise from the desert. At sunrise the Pyramids will be bathed in warm, golden light and at sunset they will be silhouetted against a colourful sky. The ride also offers a taste of traditional Egyptian desert life, giving a simple, authentic sense of the landscape and atmosphere beyond the tourist sites.
