DETAILED TOUR ITINERARY
Get ready for an awesome adventure in the Hurghada desert! First, a minibus will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the safari station, where the fun begins. You’ll hop on a quad bike and zoom over the sandy hills for 45 minutes, then switch to a cool dune buggy for another 15 minutes of excitement.
After that, climb into a tough 4×4 Land Cruiser Jeep and ride 35 kilometers through the desert until you reach a Bedouin camp. At the camp, you’ll meet local Bedouin people and see how they live. You can even ride a camel and taste some yummy Bedouin tea.
As the sun sets, you’ll see the desert turn beautiful colors. Back at the safari station, you’ll enjoy a tasty barbecue dinner with lots of grilled food. There will be live music, a spinning Tanoura dance, belly dancer and an amazing fire show. When it’s all over, you’ll head back to your hotel with tons of cool memories!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What should I wear and bring on the Hurghada desert safari?
A: We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothing and closed-toe shoes (like sneakers). Avoid sandals, as the sand gets very hot and gets into everything. Bring a pair of sunglasses, a sun hat, and a camera or smartphone. A scarf (or keffiyeh) is essential to protect your face from dust during the quad bike and buggy rides; you can bring your own or buy one at the station.
Q: Is hotel pickup and drop-off included in the tour?
A: Yes, round-trip transportation from hotels in Hurghada is fully included. If you are staying in outlying areas such as El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, or Sahl Hasheesh, a small additional transfer fee may apply depending on the distance.
Q: Do I need a license or experience to drive the quad bikes and buggies?
A: No prior experience or driver’s license is required. Before the tour begins, our professional instructors will provide a comprehensive safety briefing and a practice session to make sure you are comfortable handling the quad bikes and dune buggies.
Q: Is the desert safari safe for children and families?
A: The safari is a fantastic family adventure, but certain safety age limits apply. For safety reasons, children under 16 years old are not permitted to drive their own quad bikes or buggies, but they can ride along as passengers with an adult. If you’re pregnant, really little (like a toddler), or have serious back or neck problems, it’s better to skip this trip because the desert ride can get really bumpy.
Q: What is included in the Bedouin dinner and show?
A: The evening features an open-buffet barbecue dinner with a variety of grilled meats, rice, salads, and traditional sides, alongside authentic Bedouin tea. While you dine, you will enjoy a live cultural performance showcasing traditional Egyptian folk arts, including a Tanoura dance performance and belly dancing.
