Hi guys, me again, sorry for all the Qs!!

I know this has been asked about before but the topics are all quite dated now and I am looking for some reliable, up to date advice!

Ive seen quite a few conflicting reviews about horse riding in Sharm/Egypt...I am a very experienced rider and wouldnt want to go on a 'pony trek' type ride where you just amble along on horses who arent very well kept and are dead to your hand and leg!

But saying that I would love to do a sunrise/sunset ride in the desert - if I can find a suitable establishment...

I would appreciate it if anyone had any thoughts; good or bad!

Thanks,

Kim

Re: Horse Riding in Sharm

Hi there
Have a look on the sharm topic on Trip Advisor as a few weeks ago there were questions regarding this.
The general opinion did seem to be a bit mixed because of the almost total lack of animal welfare ,eg taking those poor animals out in the heat over and over everyday.
Sorry i cant actually help you , but i would def do your research and dont take the word of any rep, cos they just want to sell at any cost
