Trade the beach for the silence of the Eastern Desert on our signature Marsa Alam safari. In a single unforgettable evening you’ll ride a quad bike across open dunes, meet the Ababda Bedouin who call this desert home, climb aboard a camel as the light turns gold, and finish with a barbecue dinner beneath one of the darkest, star-filled skies in Egypt.
Every departure travels with licensed local guides and a support vehicle, so first-time riders and families feel completely at ease. This is the desert done properly: unhurried, authentic and safe.
Our driver collects you from your Marsa Alam or Port Ghalib hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Meet your guides, gear up, and set off across the dunes on your quad bike in a supervised convoy.
Stop at an Ababda village to see traditional desert life and share a glass of Bedouin tea.
Climb aboard a camel and ride the ridge as the sun sets behind the Red Sea Hills.
Enjoy a barbecue dinner, live music and a guided look at the desert night sky.
Relax on the drive back to your hotel.
Pickup times are confirmed by WhatsApp the evening before. Please be ready in your hotel lobby 10 minutes early.

Before you go
A Marsa Alam desert safari swaps the reef for the silence of the Eastern Desert: quad bikes over the dunes, a camel ride at sunset, an Ababda Bedouin village and dinner under the stars. Here is how the evening works and how to pick the right trip.
Shopping in Marsa Alam is low-key: hotel shops, the promenade at Port Ghalib and the old streets of El Quseir rather than big bazaars. Here is what is worth buying, how haggling works, and the souvenirs to leave alone, from coral and shells to anything sold as ancient.
Staying in El Quseir? The Luxor and Aswan day trips include pickup from El Quseir hotels, and the desert safari and the Super Safari pick up there for a surcharge. Here is how the excursions from El Quseir work, plus what to see in the old port town itself.
