Desert Safari in Hurghada

The plateau east of Hurghada turns into a quad bike, jeep and camel area within 30 minutes of the marina. Four ways to experience it, all weather-independent.

The Hurghada desert is the easiest part of the trip to plan: it's close, it runs in almost any weather, and you can choose the intensity. Quad bike, camel, sandboard, Bedouin camp dinner, stargazing - mix as you like. Wear closed shoes, bring a light jacket for after sunset, and listen to the guide's safety briefing before you ride.

Skip the quad and horse if you are pregnant, have recent back/neck/knee surgery, or have heart conditions you've been advised to avoid exertion with. Always consult your doctor first if in doubt.

Super Safari (6 hours)

The classic combo: quad bike across the plateau, sandboarding on a small dune, a camel ride, Bedouin tea and dinner in a tented camp, and a sunset photo stop. Best for first-timers who want everything in one day.

Quad and sunset safari (3 hours)

A shorter program: 60-90 minutes on the quad bike, a short photo stop on the dune, and the ride back at sunset. Best for travelers who already did the long combo last year, or who want a half-day option.

Stargazing safari (5 hours)

Quad ride or jeep transfer to a stargazing point with a telescope or a guide pointing out constellations. Better than the sunset option on clear nights, especially with kids over six. Bring a warm layer.

Horse riding (beach and desert, 2 hours)

A two-hour ride that crosses dunes and a stretch of beach. Open to beginners; a guide rides alongside the whole time. Helmets included.

Safety and suitability

  • Closed shoes and long sleeves; the desert is dusty and the quad kicks up grit
  • Bring a light jacket - the temperature drops fast after sunset, even in summer
  • Listen to the safety briefing; follow the guide's pace and don't overtake
  • Pregnant guests and travelers with serious back or knee issues: skip the quad and the horse, pick the jeep stargazing safari
  • Minimum age for the quad bike is typically 12; the Super Safari quad section is for ages 12 and up
  • The desert can be cold, dusty and bumpy; this is an adventure activity, not a smooth ride

Häufige Fragen

Does the safari run if it's windy in the city?

Usually yes - the desert is sheltered from the sea wind. A rare dust storm (khamsin) is the main reason we'd cancel a desert day. If we cancel, you get a free rebook or a refund.

What's the difference between the Super Safari quad and the 3-hour safari quad?

Same quad, same plateau. The Super Safari adds the camel, the dinner and the sandboarding. The 3-hour safari keeps just the quad portion plus sunset.
