This is a perfect opportunity to connect with nature while experiencing a traditional and relaxing way of exploring the Sahara.

Day 1

Starting Fresh in the Morning

After you’ve had a substantial breakfast at your hotel or one of the cafes of Budapest, go and visit Castle District while you’re full of energy and up to walking. The district, called Várnegyed in Hungarian, is situated on a hill at the Buda end of Chain Bridge. The whole district, which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflects medieval and baroque Budapest with many fine buildings and narrow cobbled-stoned streets with footpaths winding around the hill.
Day 3

Inner City Tour To see the Heart of Pest

Take the Castle bus to Deák tér to continue your Budapest-in-a day adventure in the inner city. Here the three metro lines of Budapest meet, so if you’re tired of walking, take one of the underground lines. But if you’re still up for some strolling, keep your sightseeing on foot. You will be able to see more of the city’s beautiful buildings. If you’ve had enough walking then take tram 2 that travels from Vágóhíd utca in district IX. to Jászai Mari tér at Margaret Bridge (best to get on at Boráros tér or at the Central Market Hall stop at Szabadság Bridge). The tram runs along the Pest side of the Danube offering a beautiful view of the Parliament, the Castle Hill and Gellért Hill in Buda, and the Danube bridges.
Day 5

New Main Street

If you have time do include a walk on Budapest’s new, partially pedestrianized street, the so-called New Main Street between Kálvin tér and Szabadság tér. Stop for a taste of strudel in the First Strudel House of Pest Cafe on Október 6 utca, where you can sample this sweet Hungarian delicacy with a cup of coffee. If you don’t have much time, do only one part of the street e.g. starting from Kálvin Square along Kecskeméti utca till Egyetem tér. This is one my favourite parts of the city centre with lovely terraced cafes, bistros and shops.
Day 7

Historic Spas in Buda and Pest

Even if you’re here only for a day try to cram in a visit to one of the bath houses our city is famous for. In the afternoon head for a spa to pamper yourself in the thermal pools and try some of the treatments and services (sauna,massage etc.). I recommend the Széchenyi Baths in City Park, Gellért is also good and it’s more centrally located (at the foot of the Gellért Hill) than the Széchenyi, or one of the Turkish Baths: Rudas was nicely refurbished and a modernized (the rooftop jacuzzi offers a fantastic panorama)

More about this tour

The Sahara Horse Riding Tour takes place around Douz, known as one of the main gateways to the Tunisian Sahara. The surrounding desert provides a beautiful setting for horseback riding, with golden dunes, sandy trails and wide open landscapes stretching towards the horizon.

During the experience, you will ride with an experienced local guide who knows the desert environment and selects routes according to the group's experience and the day's conditions. Whether you are an experienced rider or trying horseback riding for the first time, the pace can be adapted to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Horse riding in the Sahara offers a different way to discover the desert. Instead of travelling quickly between locations, you can slow down, enjoy the landscape and experience the peaceful atmosphere of the dunes. Sunset rides are especially memorable, with warm light covering the sand and creating beautiful views across the desert.
