Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you are interested in a sunset ride, this is the stables to choose! My son and I enjoyed three incredible sunset hacks with FB Stables. What lovely people and beautiful, well-cared-for horses. We were shown around the stables to meet their other horses too and all were in fabulous condition. I am a nervous rider and my 11-year-old son has never ridden outside of a riding school before. Our horses where extremely calm, even when quad bikes and other horses were zooming past them! Nothing bothered them. They were so responsive and impeccably behaved and we felt safe and looked-after. Riding across the desert at sunset with the pyramids in the background is an utterly magical experience and has reignited my son's interest in riding .
Thank you so much, Karim, Farouk and Karen for your hospitality and for the wonderful memories. Hope to see you again soon. Julia and Gabriel.

We had a fabulous experience with FB stables, riding for two hours in the desert around the Giza pyramids. Karen and Karim are very responsive and the communication was great both before arriving in Egypt and after.
Our horses, Fiona and Amir, were perfect for us. Our guide, Mohammed, was very kind and patient. An unforgettable experience!

so lucky to find FB Stables! 3 days passed by like a blink and was taken care from the day one to the very end. Few hours in a desert and some training, highly recommend it! I will be back again for sure and very soon!

Horse riding in the desert with the piramides in the background - check from my bucket list
Beautiful stable, who takes very good care of the horses.
Friendly owner Karim, easy to talk to and to make arrangements with.
The first time was so amazing, I came back the week after for a sunset tour. Galloping towards the sunset in the desert
If you want to go horse riding in Egypt, I would recommend FB stables

We went for a ride in the desert on the most beautiful horses! They were clean, healthy and well cared for. The ride was fantastic, the saddle was very comfortable and they made sure the stirrups were the right length for us. We went through the town and into the desert, past the pyramids. Our guide was great, very experienced, and he took photos for us too. Afterwards we had some tea and took some photos with the horses when they were cooled down. I will never forget it, thanks so much!

Having ridden before in Egypt I know how important it is to do your research and my god did it pay off I was in contact with the owners several times before going they couldn’t have been anymore helpful, the horses were healthy and happy everything was exactly as promised, they were so dedicated to you enjoying your experience. Riding around the pyramids on an Arab stallion has been a life long dream and this is how I spent my 40th. I cannot recommend highly enough

Through Trip Advisor I followed advice for sourcing an ethical and reliable stable where the animals were well cared for. I could not have chosen a better place! Karen gave brilliant directions and advice and was so helpful when our party did not arrive together. She went out her way to ensure we were safe and looked after. Nothing was too much trouble. Karim was wonderful with providing instructions on how to get there and both provided an unforgettable experience for my children and I. I could not recommend this stable highly enough. The camels were really content and friendly!

Outstanding experience at FB Stables,we found out about them on TripAdvisor,so we got in touch and booked a ride.
Everything went smoothly,so we went back for 2 more sessions,as we are madly in love with horses.Ended up having delicious dinner with the hosts Karen and Kareem.The horse handler was top guy so we gave him a nice tip.
We will definitely visit them again on our next trip to Giza

We came here in August of 2018 and WE chose FB stables thanks to the good comments about the horses conditions and it's true. Compared to others in the area, they are who have the better horses. We came with my boyfriend and we wanted a exclusive experience and they made It posible. We were just 3 persons counting the guide. My boyfriend never ride a Horse and thanks to the excepcional guide and horse we could galop and see the sunset.
I will never Can thank enought these people, they made our experience unforgetable. I Hope we could come back to see you.

A number of people have complained about their guide asking for a big tip half way through the ride . Have FB stables fixed that problem ? Or can I expect to be hassled ?

Please rest assured that this problem has been dealt with. We are very aware how damaging reviews can be and this behavior was certainly not welcomed by us or carried out with our blessing. We very much hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you to our stables in the near future.

My wife and I will be visiting Egypt in November of this year. In addition to the Nile river sailing we thought of doing some horse or camel riding. My wife and I are avid horseback riders. I ride using an English saddle but my wife is used to the "American western saddle." Sue does not feel comfortable or safe on an English saddle. Does FB Stables have an option to the type of saddle used. One more thing, what will the weather be like in November. We live in Nebraska and the trip to Egypt is over 22 hours. Due to the hassles of airports we decided to take only carry on luggage with us and plan to travel very light, no place for boots or riding breeches or anything else of that nature. We have done all of our reservations through Memphis Tours and I have asked to make reservations for us for a sunset ride in the desert. What is the cost in American Dollars for a two hour sunset ride?
Thank you for your input - Jorge

Ciao,
Could you please let me know what the cost is per person by the hour to tour the pyramids on horseback for experienced riders? Thank you . Would you prefer horseback or camel?
