Morning light hits the Red Sea and the horses shift, impatient and ready. Riders mount on a low stretch of shoreline outside Hurghada and the guide leads the group toward a horizon split between wind-sculpted desert and glittering water. For three hours the landscape changes underfoot: rocky terraces and Bedouin scrub give way to a flat beach, then to shallow surf where horses step into the warm sea.
