Why Ride with H&H?
History on Horseback
What better way to see the sights than from the saddle? Luxor is known as the largest open-air museum in the world and can easily be explored by horseback. Venture through the desert hills around the Valley of the Kings and ride up to ancient temples. In Cairo, you can check off a bucket-list ride with a once-in-a-lifetime gallop at the Pyramids of Giza!
Help Rescue Horses
H&H was founded as means to help local horses in need of a better life. Our beautiful Baladi horses each have a story, having come from difficult backgrounds of abuse or neglect. At H&H, we help them heal and give them second chance to thrive. Changing the stories of these horses is the motivation behind our tours. When you book a ride with us, you are helping us continue our rescue work.

Ride Across Ancient Lands
The striking landscapes of Egypt make for exciting riding excursions. Galloping in vast deserts, trekking through the mountains of ancient Thebes, swimming in the Nile River and the Red Sea, cantering through lush farmland, and trotting through rural villages – No matter what kind of riding you’re looking for, you’ll find it here!
Authentic Cultural Experiences
Our holidays encourage you to fully immerse yourself in the rich culture and welcoming community. Homecooked meals, visits to local markets, and traditional Egyptian music are all on the agenda. Maybe even learn a little Arabic! We want you to get a taste of the real, everyday life and feel like a local while you’re here.
A Personal Touch
We pride ourselves on our personalized, small group tours. We’re very flexible and will do all we can to make sure you check off everything on your bucket list, so don’t be shy to make requests! We are happy to customize our itineraries ahead of time or even on-the-fly (as much as possible) to make sure you get the experience you are looking for. Even if you only ride with us for a few hours, our goal is to create lasting memories and connections. Come as a tourist and leave as an honorary Egyptian!
