Our journey starts in Cairo as riding Arabian stallions at the Great Pyramids of Giza is top of every horse lover’s bucket list! 

Later we head off to Fayoum for 3 days where we will be exploring this picturesque area and enjoying long riding hours. Dining under the stars and heading out on a 4 x 4 safari are also on the list! 
We go back to Cairo for one last “yalla” before flying to Luxor.

In Luxor you’ll ride more beautiful, well-trained horses, fly in hot air balloons at sunrise over the Valley of the Kings and retrace the steps of Ancient Egypt with guided tours of the temples and tombs.
