A low-slung sun warms the sand as you tighten a simple bridle and step into the slow, steady rhythm of an Arabian horse. The ride begins at Port Ghalib Polo Club; the desert opens in wide, ochre swells with distant ridges and occasional flashes of Red Sea blue on the horizon. Trained guides walk you through mounting and safety, then lead groups along sandy tracks where the horses pick their way past saltbush and scattered acacia.

A low-slung sun warms the sand as you tighten a simple bridle and step into the slow, steady rhythm of an Arabian horse. The ride begins at Port Ghalib Polo Club; the desert opens in wide, ochre swells with distant ridges and occasional flashes of Red Sea blue on the horizon. Trained guides walk you through mounting and safety, then lead groups along sandy tracks where the horses pick their way past saltbush and scattered acacia.
This coastline sits on the edge of the Eastern Desert and the Red Sea — an area shaped by ancient faulting and coastal deposition. Port Ghalib itself is a modern marina development on a shoreline used for centuries by traders, while nearby Marsa Alam has long been a junction between desert and sea for Bedouin communities and seafarers.
Expect gentle terrain, steady paces, and plenty of photo stops; rides are suited to beginners and experienced riders alike. After an hour and a half on horseback, the itinerary moves to Port Ghalib Marina for an easy hour of shopping: local perfumes, silver jewelry, and handcrafted souvenirs line the waterfront alongside cafés with shaded terraces.
Practical notes: wear long riding pants and closed-toe shoes, bring sun protection and water, and plan rides for morning or late afternoon to avoid peak daytime heat. Hotel pickup is usually included; the whole outing runs about 2–3 hours. Leave-no-trace matters here — both desert plants and Red Sea reefs are fragile, so stick to paths and avoid single-use plastics near the shore.
No — tours cater to all levels with a safety briefing and professional guides who control pace and handle the group.
