Dear Habiba Horse friends, on this page you will find the current offer from Habiba Horse El Gouna.
As long as you don't exceed our clearly defined weight limit of 90 kg, are not pregnant, and enjoy riding, our riding trips are possible for children aged 6 and over.

When making a reservation, we ask about riding experience, height, and weight. This information helps us select the right four-legged companion for our guests. The tours are suitable for beginners, occasional riders, and advanced riders. Our groups are deliberately kept small to best accommodate our guests' individual needs and ensure the best possible safety.
We design our tours with a very open approach. "Almost" anything is possible, but nothing is mandatory. A relaxed walk is just as possible as the occasional trot and/or canter.
Riding equipment (helmets, chaps, riding breeches, etc.) can be rented free of charge. Helmets are mandatory for guests under 18 years of age; everyone else is free to wear one, although we strongly recommend everyone wear one.
All tours are accompanied by a sufficient number of guides, whose primary responsibility is safety—and, of course, fun. They are happy to capture the riding experience in photos and videos. This is a service provided by us, so the number of photos and videos ultimately produced varies. However, the best memories are always kept close to your heart.
Beginners will be accompanied by additional guides. Because the welfare of the animals is just as important to us as the safety of both humans and animals, the tour will be conducted entirely at a walking pace.
After each tour, we would like to invite you to enjoy our famous Habiba tea (Egyptian black tea with specially cultivated mint) and/or a refreshing glass of water.
Habiba Horse is open year-round. From spring to fall, we start at sunrise for early risers, and for those who prefer to sleep in, we offer a sunset tour.

Seahorse Tour
Time: approx. 2 hours
Place: Wüste / Strand / schwimmen mit den Pferden
The focus of this tour is swimming in the Red Sea with our horses. Many of our guests describe the moment when the horse loses its footing and begins to swim with the rider, relaxed and full of joy, as magical.
The saddles are removed from the horses while they are in the water.
In the water, the horses move quite independently and aren't forced into anything. This means that if they don't feel like going into deep water, they don't have to.
By the way: just like us humans, not all horses like water – so they won’t be used for this tour at all 😉
*only bookable from April to November and dependent on temperature and wind
