The ride begins where hotel lights fade and the reef-lined coast opens to wind and sand. Riders meet at a small equestrian center on the edge of Sharm El-Sheikh, mount up in helmets, and push from dune into shoreline; hooves sink, water laps the horses’ fetlocks, and the sea dares you to look farther. The pace is easy — walk, trot and a few spirited canters along the shallow surf — giving every rider a sense of forward momentum without steep terrain or technical challenge.
