Find Your Sharm El Sheikh Desert Safari

Beyond Sharm El Sheikh's beaches, the Sinai desert opens into mountain scenery, dusty trails and wide evening skies. A desert safari brings a different side of your holiday into view, whether you want a quad bike ride, a shared dune buggy adventure or a full evening with camel riding, dinner and entertainment.

Camel Transfers & Tours can arrange your safari around your preferred activities and travelling party. Choose a shorter riding experience, a 4-in-1 combination or a 5-in-1 evening with telescope stargazing. Private family programmes and desert events can also be requested.

Quad Bike Safari: Single or Double?

Quad biking is a popular way to experience the desert trails outside Sharm El Sheikh. After the operating team's briefing, you follow the safari route with the group, taking in the mountain surroundings and stopping where the programme allows.

Single Quad Bike

Choose a single quad if you want your own vehicle for the desert ride. One person drives each bike, making this a good option for eligible riders who prefer an individual riding experience within the guided safari.

Double Quad Bike

Choose a double quad if two people want to share one vehicle for the desert ride. One person drives and the other travels as a passenger, making this a shared experience rather than two separate quad bikes.

A double quad means one bike for two people. Driver and passenger eligibility depends on the operator's age and safety requirements. Tell us the ages of any children before choosing your programme.

Keep the experience focused on quad biking, or add a camel ride, Bedouin dinner and evening show. We will confirm the riding duration, departure arrangements and selected additions in your quotation.

Dune Buggy Safari for Couples, Friends and Families

A dune buggy offers a seated desert driving experience with a steering wheel. It is a useful alternative for travellers who prefer sharing a vehicle, and for families considering a four-seat option instead of separate quad bikes.

Two-Seater Dune Buggy

Share a two-seat buggy with your partner or a friend and experience the desert route together. This option provides a seat for the driver and one passenger, with the ride organised around the booked safari programme.

Four-Seater Family Buggy

Share a four-seat buggy with your family or a small group and experience the desert route together. This option provides a seat for the driver and up to three passengers, subject to the operator's participation requirements.

Camel riding, dinner and the evening show can be requested as additions to your buggy safari. A buggy upgrade may also be available for a combination programme, with the vehicle and price agreed before you confirm.

More experiences in one evening

4-in-1 or 5-in-1 Desert Safari?

A combination safari suits travellers who want more than a ride. The evening brings together desert activity, a camel experience, dinner and a live show, with telescope stargazing added to the 5-in-1 programme.

4-in-1 Desert Safari

Combine a quad bike safari with a camel ride, Bedouin dinner and an evening show. This package brings four experiences into one outing, making it a convenient choice for a fuller desert evening without the telescope session.

  • Quad bike safari
  • Camel riding experience
  • Bedouin dinner
  • Evening entertainment

5-in-1 Desert Safari

Combine a quad bike safari with a camel ride, Bedouin dinner, an evening show and telescope stargazing. This package adds a guided look at the night sky, making it a rewarding choice for a fuller desert evening with an astronomy experience.

  • Quad bike safari
  • Camel riding experience
  • Bedouin dinner
  • Evening entertainment
  • Telescope stargazing

Quad biking is the starting vehicle option for these combinations. Ask about changing to a two-seat or four-seat buggy if you prefer. Stargazing depends on sky conditions, and the objects visible through the telescope vary with the date and time.

Camel Riding and an Evening in the Desert

A camel ride offers a slower contrast to the motorised safari. It is usually a short part of the combined experience, giving you time to enjoy the desert setting from a different perspective. Ask us for the ride duration if camel riding is an important part of your plans.

As the evening continues, the focus moves to dinner and entertainment at the camp. The show programme varies by venue and date, so we will describe the booked entertainment rather than promise the same performances for every departure.

Standard or VIP Bedouin Dinner?

Your dinner choice changes the evening experience. A standard package suits a relaxed safari outing, while a VIP arrangement can offer an upgraded menu, greater variety and enhanced service. The actual differences will be explained in your quotation.

Standard Dinner

Enjoy the meal included with your selected camp programme alongside the evening entertainment. This is a practical choice for travellers who want the complete safari experience with a straightforward dinner arrangement.

VIP Dinner

Request an upgraded meal and service arrangement alongside the evening entertainment. This is an appealing choice for travellers who want the complete safari experience with additional attention to their dinner arrangements.

VIP dinner does not automatically mean a private camp or private safari. Tell us if you want an exclusive arrangement. Please mention dietary requirements in advance so we can check what the venue can provide.

Private Family Safaris and Desert Celebrations

A private programme gives you more scope to shape the outing around your group. You might prefer a family buggy experience, a dinner-focused evening or a combination of activities with private hotel transport.

Camel Transfers & Tours can also help coordinate desert arrangements for birthdays, anniversaries, wedding celebrations and larger group events. The venue, menu, entertainment, transport and any private areas are planned around your request.

  • Private safari arrangements for families and small groups
  • Celebration dinners with a selected menu and service format
  • Entertainment and event arrangements agreed in advance
  • Transport planning for individual guests or larger groups

Tell us your preferred date, guest count, occasion and ideas. We will check the arrangements and prepare a personalised proposal, including what is private and what is shared.

What to Bring and How to Prepare

Wear comfortable clothing and closed shoes for the riding activities. Sunglasses and a suitable face covering can help with desert dust, while a light extra layer is useful for cooler evenings. Keep your phone and personal belongings secure.

Follow the operating team's instructions and use the required safety equipment. Let us know about any mobility concerns or relevant health conditions before booking so the activity provider can advise on participation.

When comparing quotations, check the vehicle allocation, riding time, hotel transfers, camel ride, dinner level, entertainment and telescope session. Photography, personal purchases and equipment sold at the venue should not be assumed to be included.

Sharm El Sheikh Desert Safari FAQs

What is the difference between a single and double quad?

A single quad is allocated to one rider. A double quad is one vehicle shared by a driver and a passenger. It does not include a separate quad bike for each person.

Can we book a buggy instead of a quad bike?

Yes. Ask for a two-seat or four-seat dune buggy. A buggy can also be requested as an upgrade to a combination safari, subject to availability and the agreed price.

What is included in the 4-in-1 safari?

Our proposed 4-in-1 combination includes quad biking, a camel riding experience, Bedouin dinner and an evening show. Your quotation confirms the full programme and transfer arrangements.

How is the 5-in-1 safari different?

It adds telescope stargazing to the quad ride, camel experience, dinner and show. Visibility depends on the weather and sky conditions on the evening.

Can children join a desert safari?

Participation depends on their ages, the chosen vehicle and the operator's requirements. Send us the children's ages so we can check suitable passenger options before you book.

Can we book dinner and the show without driving?

Ask us about a dinner-focused evening with transport. We can check a programme that does not require you to drive a quad or buggy.

Does VIP dinner include a private safari?

No. VIP describes the agreed dinner and service upgrade. Private transport, a private riding group or an exclusive venue arrangement must be requested and confirmed separately.

Can you arrange a private desert celebration?

Yes. We can check arrangements for family celebrations, weddings and group events. Send your date, guest count and preferred activities for a tailored proposal.
