Welcome to
Tunis Stable
and Guesthouse
Located in the heart of Fayoum,
just steps from the charming Tunis Village,
Tunis Stable is Egypt’s most trusted horse-riding desert experience.
Founded in 2002 by Mohammed Saleh — one of the pioneers who turned Tunis Village into the magical destination it is today — our family-run stable has grown from a few horses to more than 30, cared for and trained with passion by Mohammed and his sons, Youssef and Hussein.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced rider, we offer unforgettable adventures through some of Egypt’s most stunning landscapes: golden dunes, dramatic rock formations, the breathtaking Magic Lake, and hidden mountain trails. In 2024, we opened our second stable near the Magic Lake, making it easier than ever to enjoy short or full-day desert rides, as well as new and unique experiences soon to come.
Enhance your journey with a stay at our authentic family guest house, White Horse, located right next to the main stable. We can also arrange 4×4 desert safaris, camping under the stars, boat rides, quad tours, Bedouin parties, pottery workshops, or full tailor-made packages with airport transfer.
At Tunis Stable, every ride is more than an excursion — it’s a journey into the magic, beauty, and hospitality of the Egyptian desert.
Our rides are crafted to take you deep into the soul of the desert — through landscapes where silence speaks and horizons never end. From golden dunes and hidden caves to majestic mountains and shimmering lakes, every trail offers a new facet of Egypt’s wild beauty.
Voices of experience
“Jordan“This is a must visit destination if you are visiting Egypt. Just 2 hours from Cairo, Tunis Stables in Tunis village, outside Fayoum, was an incredible experience. The boutique run stables and accommodation was gorgeous.
The service was immaculate. Mohamed, the owner, is a great man. His passion for horses and commitment to pleasing his guests comes before business and profits. That's the impression I got within 5 minutes of meeting Mohamed.
My niece and I rode horses in the desert, along Qarun Lake, did a pottery class, visited the Valley of the Whale, camped in the desert and did a 4x4 safari in the desert.
I cannot wait to visit Tunis stables again when I return to Cairo later this year.”
“Hanine“This private horseback ride with Mohammed at the Magical Lake was beyond perfect. The scenery was breathtaking, the horses were gorgeous and calm, but the true gem was Mohammed himself — so kind, patient, passionate, and incredibly caring. He made me feel completely safe and truly made this ride unforgettable. One of the best experiences. 100% recommended. Thank you, Mohammed, for this magical moment.”
“Alice“Tunis Stable is more than a place — it’s a feeling, a family, and a rare kind of magic that stays with you long after you’ve left.
I first came with a friend and fell in love instantly — with the horses, the silence of the desert, the golden light on the dunes. I returned several times months later, and the experience only deepened. It’s not just a riding trip, it’s a journey through vastness, stillness, and connection — to nature, to others, to yourself.
The horses are exceptional — each one loved, respected, and deeply attuned to their rider. Whether you’re an experienced rider or it’s your very first time, you’ll find a companion that matches your energy.
The landscape is otherworldly — endless sands, open skies, and a peacefulness that words can’t quite capture. Every ride offers a new horizon, a new silence, a new shade of gold.
What makes it truly unique is the family behind it. They welcome you as one of their own, care for every detail with warmth and precision, and hold a deep knowledge of the desert that transforms each outing into something rare and sacred.
Tunis Stable is the trusted reference for desert rides in Fayoum — the only ones able to offer safe, soulful half-day and full-day treks across this vast land. Their guesthouse is a quiet refuge in the heart of the village, and they offer everything from cultural excursions to sandboarding,”

“Helena“I had the most amazing time ever. I wasn’t able to stay long but I’ve never been so sure of returning. I rode the most magnificent horse and they are all so well taken care of. The owners clearly love horses which is amazing. The staff is lovely, while I didn’t get to know the owner that much, but I’ve heard wonderful things. I did get to know his son who immediately made me feel like a friend. What an amazing time there I nothing I could recommend more”
“O.“Tunis Stable is hands down the best place in Egypt to experience horseback riding. They have the most incredible horses, exceptionally well-cared for, healthy, and happy. Riding here is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I can’t recommend enough.
The team at Tunis Stable is absolutely wonderful—professional, friendly, and always ready to make sure you have the best time. Their passion for the horses and their work shines through in every detail.
If you’re looking for the best horses and an unforgettable experience in Egypt, Tunis Stable is the place to go. 100% recommended!”
“Ahmed“I found the place through Instagram, directly contacted them, and it was so easy to arrange it all thanks to Youssef, Hussein and Irène.
The horses are well taken care of and obviously well trained! As a beginner, it is definitely my best horseback riding experience, with the horse Tayyar (Means the flying one in English). The ride itself in the dessert is full of breathtaking views: the 2nd lake at Wadi El Rayan, the magic lake view from the top of the hills, among other fascinating views.
They do also go for small rides of 1~2 hours around Tunis Village and to the near lake, which I did the day before I went to the dessert for the longer ride of ~6 hours.
I do recommend checking out the videos from the instagram page to really get a feeling of the experience! And I definitely recommend having the rides with the lovely experienced team of Tunis Stable.
I also found their hotel "white horse" comfy and clean. Their homemade style meals are nice, so if you are looking for all in one place experience that would be the right spot ✋🏻
It was my first time but definitely not the last!”
“Klara“This is an oasis in it's true meaning, the people and the horses, the views and the food, an amazing experience unlike any other. I can't wait to go back and I can't express my gratitude to the whole family 🙏❤️”
“Jaroslaw“Great place with amazing people and Arabian horses. 4 days of horse riding on the Fayoum desert was magic experience. Thank you for the hospitality. I felt at home. Will be back soon.”
“L.S.“Had the most amazing time at Tunis Stable! The landscape is like from another world, the horses are very well take care off and all looking really good, also the stable itself and the guesthouse is so charming and beautiful. The people are so friendly, like family. I regret that I have not planned more time to stay there - can’t wait to come back! 🙂”
“Sof A“One of the best days of my life! An experience that will surely remain unforgettable. The wonderful horses, the magical landscape of the desert and the lake, combined with the sunset created a feeling of calmness, freedom. Being on a horse running in the middle of the desert is indescribable, I definitely recommend such a ride, don't miss this experience! Thank you so much Youssef for this day, a dream I had since childhood came true. Certainly if we visit Egypt again, coming to Tunis Stable again will be one of the first things we do! Yala Tiger🐎”
“Caroline“It's a kind of Magic.
Come only with your heart, your breath...and let go!
Amazing horses give you the key to the most beautiful trips and lands in Qarun and they open The Desert' doors for you.
The whole team is friendly to you, even the adopted dogs and the smallest passing bird . Breakfast and meals are delicious , the guesthouse so lovely and comfortable, you find there all the Kindness, Respect and Values of Authentic Egypt .
As a "family place ", you feel being a part of it and you have no other choice than coming back again.
Tunis Stable, "The White Horse" is not a place, it's a Feeling .”
“Mohammed“Crazy place and horses, God willing 🤍”
“Kayla“This is no ordinary trekking! ✨
The Sahara called me out here to behold this truly magical and sacred land, and these beautiful humble people and the incredible horses in their care... And it honestly was an honour that words cannot do justice.”
“Lisa“Amazing experience with a great team. Looking forward to the next trips!”
“Natalie“One of the best experiences of my life! Tunis Stables has it all— magnificent horses, amazing people and, of course, the most exhilarating Sahara rides.
I came to Tunis Stables with a group and fell in love with the horses and the magic of the Sahara. It was one of the best riding trips of my life, and I traveled back alone just a few months later! Again, it was the most amazing experience.
The entire team at Tunis Stables is full of amazing people. It is family owned and that’s exactly how you feel when you arrive–like you are part of the family. The guest house is comfortable, safe and peaceful. The staff will make sure you have everything you need.
The horses at Tunis Stable are incredible. Every horse is well loved and taken care of. Each one is beautiful and unique in its own way. Best of all, there is a horse for every level of rider.
Lastly, the Sahara. Every horse riding trip offers a different perspective of the golden sands and blue skies. It is completely authentic— from the transport of the horses, to the pace of the ride, to the vibe of the entire experience.
No other team of people or horses can create this kind of magic.
10/10 recommend.”
“Umut“It is a place with very good hotels and horses. I love you”

Unparalleled professionalism and know-how from the family teams of Tunis Stable. For all levels, all types of visitors (family, friends, solo travelers, ...).

“Phoebe“What an amazing place to go riding! I was only there for one night, but the guesthouse and stables were so lovely i would have loved to have stayed for linger. The team at Tunis Stables are friendly and helpful. They matched me with a lovely horse Simba and we had an azming sunset ride in the Sarah Desert. Fantastic 🤩”
“Abeer“Seriously, one of the most beautiful places where I feel very comfortable”
“Islam“I’ve known Mohamed for more than 10 years. My family and I have always enjoyed our time at his guest house and stable, starting from delicious food, nice staff, riding beautiful horses on the lack shore, and going on safari in the desert. I will not stop going there.”
“Wina“I had a two fabulous rides in Tunis with Mohamed. I ride but not regularly and am always cautious trying out new places and horses. My first ride was early morning, on a great horse, very responsive and I felt totally at ease with Mohamed. I was cautious at the beginning but once I relaxed it was a fantastic ride. I went again a couple of hours later with my 12 year old daughter and it was equally brilliant. Mohamed really encouraged my daughter and she was given the perfect horse for her to feel confident and relaxed. I will definitely come back here again and would recommend these stables to others who love horses and riding. Thanks for a memorable experience.”
