I have always wanted to go horse riding but had never had the opportunity to or the confidence to. I met Lesley in Luxor and she convinced me to come and give it a go.
I visited her stables and got to meet all her animals, which are very well cared for. I was feeling quite nervous but Lesely put me at ease and we set off. The area around her stables is beautiful and we got to pass through some of the local villages.
You can see that Lesley is great with her horses and has a very strong bond with them. My first horse ride was great fun and I would recommend it to beginners and experienced riders.

Stable owner Lesley Hammam sent a boat to the East Bank to pick us up & transport us to the West Bank where she met us. We traveled in her SUV to Blue Lotus Stables & Farm. She introduced us to many friendly cows, goats & horses & cats. We had tea & chatted about her stables & life in Egypt. Lesley got the horses groomed & saddled up. 2 of us were going riding with her. Her husband arrived & stayed at the farm & visited with my husband & a friend. My husband loved learning so much from Saffy about their lives in Egypt & their lovely stables. Lesley took me & another woman on a wonderful long horseback ride through rural farm country, past many small homes with children playing & women preparing sun bread. It was delightful. The horses were excellent & calm. Lesley is most enjoyable to ride & visit with. It was one of the best days during my month stay in Egypt.

I had an amazing experience riding around the Luxor West Bank area and desert with Lesley. Her farm is a lovely place to visit with many cute animals to cuddle as well! Her horses are all incredibly well looked after and fun to ride. This activity is one of my highlights during my stay in Luxor and I would highly recommend riding or visiting Blue Lotus Farm if you have the chance !

I have been horse riding with Lesley many times in different locations. Each time is a great adventure! If you want to see the old villages of Luxor or the sands of the desert (or both!), Lesley has the perfect adventure for you! She absolutely loves her horses, and takes great care of them! She is a great instructor and friend! When I lived in Luxor, she always helped me with my animals when I needed it.
I can't say this about many people, but she is fearless and when she wants to do something, she does it.
So, regardless of what type of adventure you want, you must have Lesley by your side~. She will motivate you and take care of you ! She truly goes above and beyond!

I went riding with Lesley twice during my last trip to Luxor and would have gone more if I hadn’t left it till the last week of my visit. Lesley clearly prioritises the welfare of all her animal which is not the usual situation in Luxor at all. Her horses are, essentially rescues, and very much loved and cared for. She is an expert rider and qualified professional teacher. I am not an experienced rider and my horse was steady and reliable. Safety equipment was all provided as was transportation to the stables.
Lesley’s teaching technique is very subtle. She does not bombard you with too much information but teaches one thing at a time with a steady pace so it is not overwhelming. I have ridden in Egypt before and have universally ended up with a young man guiding me who is more interested in making me his latest foreign `girlfriend` than making sure I enjoy the trip (this is not vanity but an ongoing problem for women in Luxor). With Lesley I was able to drop my guard and enjoy the scenery and conversation without looking for ulterior motives. We rode through the farmland around Lesley’s farm (a wonderful place if you love animals) on both trips, giving a much more authentic view of Egypt. Will be taking more lessons when I am back in Luxor. Thanks Lesley!
