Overview

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.

  • Quad bike across open desert with a guided convoy
  • Ride a camel along the dune ridge at golden hour

Rated 5.0 out of 5

The desert safari was the highlight of our holiday

Perfectly organised from pickup to drop-off. The quad biking was so much fun, the guides were friendly and safety-conscious, and the dinner under the stars was magical. Highly recommend for families.
