I was in email contact one month before I arrived in Egypt with Karen from FB Stables and she ensured that I got exactly the ride that I wanted when I arrived in Cairo. I got to ride two stallions and my husband got a quad bike! The horses are very well looked after, sadly you will notice that not... More

Enjoyed a lovely evening ride around the pyramids thanks to the services of FB Stables. After clearing of small misunderstandings we were assisted by them in returning to the Pyramid's Park with the horses. I must say the horses know the route quite well. Willing to trot but usually followed in a bored walk. Compared to other horses and stables... More

I just finished another visit to FB Stables and have to write a review! I always have a great time riding with them and it's about time I put it in writing. Being an avid horse lover and rider, I can conjure up many magical riding scenarios, but here I don't need my imagination, it's real. Beautiful Arabian horses, desert... More

My daughter is a passionate rider, so I contacted the FB stables. The contact with Karen (the owner) was very friendly. It took us some time to find the FB-stables (I should have checked their website as they are not located at the main street) We were welcomed by Karen and led through the stables. All horses seem well treated... More

Two ease pensive as most places on the street, but still so cheap compared to what our pay at home. Horses are well cared for and so much healthier then the others in the area. You will walk, trot and canter. This certainly isn't a bunch of sad ponies walking in a line. Get ready for a ton of fun!!

I live in Maadi and have just got back from a lovely three hour ride from the stables up to the pyramids and sphinx. My girlfriend and I were a bit cautious as we had heard mixed reports as to equine welfare in and around the pyramids. I can honestly say the 2 horses we were provided with were happy,... More

I contacted FB stables when we were in Cairo after reading the reviews to ask for 18 horses for our group as a sunset ride by the pyramids. Kat and Karim were very helpful and of great help in arranging all of it and even though we did not confirm until the day before we actually went out, they managed... More

My partner and I wanted to ride in the desert on our recent trip to Egypt. We were both adamant that we would only do it if we could find somewhere that the horses were well looked after. Thanks to Trip Advisor we found FB Stables. We were collected from our hotel by Karim, after arranging this by telephone, and... More

I tried to use these Stables by recommendations of Tripadvisor, and found them to be very poorly organised. Communication was a major headache and there instructions very inconcise. They are hidden behind a charade of nice website protraying good animal welfare, and excellent services. Well I found them to be anything but, there animals are looked after no better than... More

We had arranged to meet Karim at the pyramids. Eventually after lots of mobile calls to him he came to meet us, but we were told that we were at the wrong entrance. This would have involved going out and paying to come back in at the camel entrance. This was never mentioned before that there were two entrances!! Karim... More
