Hurghada Desert Safari
Ride into the Egyptian desert as the sun turns orange across the dunes. ATV quad biking, a traditional camel ride, sandboarding, and a starlit Bedouin dinner — one of Hurghada's most popular evening adventures.
About This Experience
The Hurghada desert stretches deep behind the resort coastline — golden dunes, vast silence, and some of the clearest night skies in North Africa. The Desert Safari takes you out into this landscape in the late afternoon, letting you ride quad bikes across the sand, try sandboarding down a dune, and take a short camel ride before settling in at a Bedouin camp for tea and dinner.
Watching the sun set over the desert while drinking mint tea at the camp is the kind of moment people come back to Hurghada for. Dinner is a traditional Bedouin-style spread served under the stars, with optional shisha and live music available at the camp.
