Amazing experience - We were reassured by regulars about the condition of the horses' care and we were not disappointed. They are in great shape! We had superb gallops through different magnificent landscapes at sunset :-) the guide was able to adapt to our 2 different levels. A wonderful romantic hike. I recommend !

Great and relaxing experience on the west bank - Briefly summarized why this activity should be number #1 in Luxor: - healthy and well-trained horses - no 'unexpected' extra costs - suitable for inexperienced and experienced riders - can be combined with a temple visit - actually rode for 4 hours with the horses - you see the real Luxor and walk past beautiful views of the temples and farmers' fields Booked this private tour together with my girlfriend. We are both inexperienced riders. In the morning we were picked up from our hotel (Hilton) at 4:20 by motorboat. At 5:00 we were on our horses and the 4-hour ride could begin. Before the tour starts you will receive a helmet and a cup of tea. Mando was an excellent guide who put us at ease. For me the highlight was the trotting and galloping parts on horseback. Quite scary for the first time, but only then do you experience the speed and power of a horse. Make sure you wear long pants to avoid any abrasions.

Wonderful way to experience Luxor - I would give Luxor Stables 10 stars if I could! The morning horseback tour was such a beautiful way to experience a quieter side of Luxor. The animals are obviously well-treated, the communication was excellent, and we felt really safe riding without much experience. I highly recommend this experience!

Highly recommended: beautiful horses in good condition - With a group of 5, we rode Nobi's horses (& his camels too) every day for our week-long riding holiday. His horses are fit and in good condition and a joy to ride (we were exoerienced riders). I partnered with 5 different horses in the end & loved them all for their enthusiasm, forwardness, good manners & beauty. We also saw the sand paddocks they live in 24/7 (not stabled like many local horses) with access to shade, water & feed all the time. I'm happy to recommend Nobi, 5 stars

Amazing family-owned stables - Nobi’s stables are wonderful and the horses are incredibly well looked after. This is a local family owned stables and the best in the area. The guides are extremely friendly and great with horses. The horses are carefully paired with the riders and there is a variety of different rides to choose from. I would highly recommend this stables to anyone

Animals are so well cared for, staff is incredible. 10/10 recommend. - Wow. What a gorgeous experience. I cannot say enough good things. I’m not a very experienced rider, so they chose a nice calm, stable horse for me that was almost effortless to work with. She (the horse) knew what she was doing so I didn’t have to redirect her much at all. But for the times I did, I was well prepared because they taught me how to redirect before leaving for our ride. We rode to Habu Temple through the farms and fields on the West Bank. The views were just unbelievable, and how often do you get to ride a horse to an ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TEMPLE?! I still can’t get over it. I was also given a tour of the stables and the other animals being kept there, and they are very well fed, well cared for, respected, and the stables are absolutely beautiful. They truly care about their animals’ well being and it’s obvious. If you are looking to book a horse riding tour in Egypt but you’re worried about animal welfare.. look no further. This is the place to support. Thank you so much Luxor Stables & crew!! You are all amazing.

Beautiful, special morning! - I booked this as a Christmas present for my horse rider sister. We were lucky enough to have had a hot air balloon ride the day before so we’re excited to see them from another angle - and from horseback! Unfortunately, the wind had other plans for our morning but this is just the way of things. We had a lovely ride through the West Bank and over and through some desert area and some newly found tombs. The sun on the mountains was breathtaking. I think my sister would have loved to up-the-pace and go off cantering into the sunrise, but as it had been a while since I had been on horseback, she was very patient with me while we did some trotting and plodded along. The guide made sure we were both confident and comfortable at all times. Riding through the fields in the morning sun was beautiful! I would also say that as we had in been in Egypt for a week, we had seen a lot of sad sights of thin and miserable horses tied to carriages and being hit and worked too hard on the streets. This was certainly not the case here. The horses were happy, well-fed, comfortable with shiny coats and happy faces. They are clearly looked after well and loved 🙂
