Horseback Riding


Horseback rides, short or long, from beginners to expert riders, on our beautiful Arabian horses. Ride to the Abou Sir Pyramids, Sakkarah Pyramids, and the Dashour Pyramids in the open desert away from the crowded city and traffic. Ride through the farms and palm trees of the colorful village of Sakkarah. (We do not offer horseback riding near the Giza pyramids to avoid the crowds and city. We also discourage rides from Sakkarah to Giza because a significant part of the ride must be made on the highway and it’s dangerous.) Learn more

Visit the Old Pyramids at Sakkara


The Egyptian pyramids and ruins near Sakkara are from the Old Kingdom; the step pyramid was built before the smooth sided ones. There are several tombs with beautiful paintings. There are many excavations in progress. One can ride around to them on horses or camels, although they are not normally open to the public.

Nearby are the pyramids of Abu Sir and Dashour. At Dashour, you may climb down into the Red Pyramid. The inside of the Red Pyramid is quite different from the king and queens’ chambers in Giza. Each of these sites is an easy car ride away from Sakkara, or a longish horse or camel ride, which can certainly be arranged.

The Bent Pyramid is an ancient Egyptian pyramid located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur, approximately 40 kilometres south of Cairo, built under the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu.
