Best Desert Safari in Egypt: Quad Biking & Camel Riding

Egypt’s Best Desert Safari: Take an Adventurous Quad Biking & Camel Riding Tour

Away from Egypt's historic temples and fantastic beaches, lies some of the most exhilarating desert safari tour options in the Middle East. From the golden sands of the Sinai desert to the expansive terrains of the Eastern desert to the east of Red Sea, the desert safari tour experience in Egypt brings adventure, culture and beautiful surroundings into one single unique trip. Looking for a thrilling quad biking tour, a cultural camel riding trip or a beautiful desert sunset tour, then Egypt's desert safaris is your ideal break away from the bustling cities.

Ramp up the thrills of quad biking through the desert

Among the most sought-after activities to be enjoyed as part of a desert safari in Egypt, quad biking is considered an absolutely must-have inclusion on your safari. You'll experience a speed-filled thrill as you zip along miles of sand dunes and the rocky desert terrain as part of this adventure-packed ride; an incredible fusion of high speed, high exhilaration and awe-inspiring landscapes.

Within popular sites like Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada, guided quad biking tours venture far out into the middle of the desert away from the crowded tourist sites; a surreal landscape that you'll race across and ascend sandy hills at the same time while reveling in the mountain and valley views surrounding the Red Sea.

Most thrilling among these trips are the sunset quad bike rides which allow you to see the desert bask in shades of orange and gold as the sun dips beyond the mountains. As well as providing guests with the chance to take part in some exhilarating riding, numerous tour options will offer you a respite in the form of a traditional Bedouin camp where you can enjoy a restful cup of tea following your high-octane trip. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert rider, a quad biking trip through Egypt will give you a taste of adventure.

Enjoy the serenity of a traditional camel ride

An Egyptian desert safari would be incomplete without a camel ride across the tranquil desert. The ‘ships of the desert’ have carried Bedouins throughout their lives across this ancient land for centuries; a tranquil experience through the rocky desert and sands will be provided at one of many such available tours.

You will be accompanied through miles of sandy plains surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes as you experience the solitude that is uniquely Egyptian. Many safaris are tailored to allow visitors to experience and capture photographs of the breath-taking landscape in the glow of a desert sunset as well as experience traditional meals alongside cultural presentations and stargazing at night. A ride on a camel is perfect for all members of a family or a romantic experience with loved ones, even if you're first time travelers to the country.

Discover true Egyptian desert culture at the Bedouin camp

Perhaps the highlight of an Egyptian desert safari trip is a visit to a traditional Bedouin camp. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the history, culture and hospitality that make Bedouin life so special.

A welcome cup of traditional tea and fresh baked bread with local entertainment consisting of live music, folklore displays and meals enjoyed under a desert sky await the visitor here. A truly immersive cultural experience at many tours often entails lessons in Bedouin life, trying on traditional clothing, or simply relaxing beside a campfire in the heart of the desert.

It is a surreal experience in the stillness of the night; free from city light pollution, a blanket of stars adorns the night sky making for an unmissable part of any Sinai or Eastern Desert safari adventure. The cultural elements in the safari tour provide more than just mere sight-seeing and instead allow visitors to understand and feel the spirit of Egyptian desert life.

Why Egyptian desert safaris are unforgettable

The Egyptian desert safari brings you to the heart of a country so often only viewed in the context of its pyramids, beaches and ancient monuments, and gives you a entirely new perspective. It truly is the perfect blend of exhilarating adventure, natural beauty and cultural encounters.

Be it the thrill of a quad bike ride over desert dunes, the gentle serenity of a sunset camel trek or enjoying the company of Bedouin locals over a fire under a canopy of stars; you’ll find an Egypt that captivates all your senses. The unique deserts of Egypt have something to be enjoyed by all, from the Sinai mountain landscapes to the areas surrounding the Red Sea, an adventure in Egypt will provide memories for a lifetime.
