Short description

The mega desert safari is the shorter, action-focused option from Hurghada, and it still covers quad biking, a buggy ride, a 4×4 jeep and a taste of Bedouin culture. You ride your own automatic quad bike for about 40 to 45 minutes across the desert beneath the Red Sea Mountains, and then spend 15 minutes in a two-seater dune buggy, which is a good choice for couples and families. The safari runs daily and starts at about 12:00, and the whole outing takes about four to five hours with air-conditioned transfers.

After hotel pickup, the safari station is your first stop for a safety briefing and safety equipment. Once the riding is done, your professional guide takes you deeper into the desert by 4×4 jeep to a traditional Bedouin village. Here you take a camel ride and enjoy Bedouin tea with freshly baked bread. One bottle of water and one soft drink are included, and your exact pickup time is confirmed by message after booking.

You can ride a single quad or share a double quad with another guest, ideal for one adult with one child. Bring your passport or a photo ID, closed shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and a scarf against the dust. Drivers must meet the minimum age rules, and children may ride under the age rules that apply. Extra drinks, scarf and goggles, photos and tips are not included.
