Multiple accounts describe visibly emaciated horses used for tourist rides near Egyptian sites, where riders and animals appear to suffer from neglect. In the areas frequented by visitors, tourists leaving temples are reportedly approached by aggressive cab or ride drivers who offer horse rides. The horses involved are described as severely undernourished, with pronounced skeletons and matted coats. The reporting characterizes the situation as a recurring cycle driven by demand from tourists and the willingness of those selling rides to continue arranging outings despite the animals’ condition. Sources also indicate that the process often continues until the horses become unable to work, at which point the abuse ends only when an animal collapses or dies. Across the accounts, the central elements are the horses’ physical condition, the role of intermediaries in securing rides, and the connection between tourist activity and ongoing exploitation. No specific organization or legal action is identified in the provided excerpts.
