Sharm El Sheikh Desert Safari with Quad Bike

1. Quad Biking Adventure

An exhilarating quad biking experience is the highlight of any Sharm El Sheikh Desert Safari. Riding through rugged terrains and gigantic sand mountains, the Sinai Mountains establish a marvelous backdrop and get the adrenaline pumping in you. Most safaris have photo and rest breaks in between, letting you relish the calmness and emptiness of the desert.

2. Camel Ride Through the Dunes

Quad biking gives you a lot of fun and excitement, which makes you want to go faster, but then you want to slow down a bit and take the time to see the desert the old way — by being on a camel's back. This tranquil ride mirrors the life of the Bedouins who used to cross the Sinai and makes you one with the deserted area's eternal spirit.

3. Visit to a Bedouin Village

The Bedouin village is the most awaited moment of every Sharm El Sheikh Desert Safari. It is in the village where the tourists get the first-hand experience of the Bedouin way of living through drinking herbal tea, baking pita bread, and listening to stories about their olden times and the desert lifestyle. Over and above that, many tours also offer what is known as a Bedouin-style dinner served around a campfire under the stars.

4. Magical Sunset or Sunrise Views

The sunsets in the Sinai Desert are really nothing less than mesmerizing. As the sun goes down behind the mountains, the sands are bestowing the colors of red and gold that are perfect for people taking photos to have the colors on their backdrops. For those who want a more contemplative experience, they can choose a sunrise desert safari, where the desert comes into life in quietness.

5. Stargazing in the Desert

As darkness sets in, the Sharm El Sheikh Desert Safari morphs into a captivating sky show. Thousands of stars—not to mention the Milky Way and, possibly, some planets—are all visible to your naked eye since the nearest city lights are quite distant. Moreover, certain tours include a stargazing extravaganza where telescopes and skilled astronomers are there to tell you about the stars in the sky. 

No matter what style of adventure you seek, there will always be a safari that suits your taste:

• Morning Desert Safari: Perfect for the milder temperatures and clear views.
• Afternoon Sunset Safari: The most commonly booked trip incorporates action with a Bedouin feast and show.
• Overnight Safari: Live the night in the desert beneath the shimmering stars — a unique experience of a lifetime.
• Jeep Safari: Highly recommended for families, this adventurous guided 4x4 tour takes you further and includes stopping for cultural experiences.

Here’s a list of what you need to bring to ensure your comfort and safety:

• Comfortable and durable shoes with lightweight clothing
• Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat
• A scarf or keffiyeh to prevent sand from entering your body
• A warm jacket for the cool night in the desert
