The best part of this Sharm el Sheikh safari is the change of pace: you start with a quad-bike ride across the Sinai desert, then end under a dark sky with telescopes trained on the moon and planets. In between come camel photos, Bedouin tea, dinner, fire eating, folklore dance, and tannoura.

I like the strong mix of activities for $49.99, especially the included hotel transfer, dinner, shows, and stargazing. I also like that beginners get a short safety briefing and a flat stretch of sand to get used to the ATV. The main caution is that the camel ride may be little more than a short photo stop, and busy dates can make the group feel much larger than expected.

Quick reasons to consider this safari

  • Ride your own ATV or share one: Adults can take a quad alone or share with another person.
  • Watch sunset from a desert hill: The tour pauses for views across one of the Sinai’s desert valleys.
  • Try several Bedouin camp activities: Tea, dinner, folklore, tannoura, fire eating, and sometimes sand boarding are part of the evening.
  • See more than stars: The telescope session may include moon craters, Saturn, constellations, and possibly Mars.
  • Keep extra cash handy: The national park fee is $1 per person, with scarves, goggles, photos, and shisha available at extra cost.
  • Check the group size on your date: The advertised maximum is 15 people, though one very busy holiday departure became much larger.

From Sharm hotel pickup to the ATV base

Your afternoon or evening begins with pickup at your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. The transfer is included, which makes this easier than arranging taxis to a desert meeting point. Drivers usually organize the pickup by hotel, but a short wait can happen. One account described a delay of about 10 minutes and an older Toyota van, so do not expect luxury transport every time.

At the ATV base, you receive a safety helmet and an explanation of how to operate the quad. The stated plan is sensible for beginners: first you ride over flat sand to get comfortable with the throttle, steering, and brakes. You do not need previous quad-bike experience according to the tour information, and most people can take part.

Still, take responsibility for your own safety. Wear the helmet, follow the guide’s pace, and ask for a demonstration if the instructions feel rushed. One account raised concerns about limited safety guidance, while the operator said the rider had declined a helmet. The practical lesson is simple: listen carefully, keep a safe distance, and do not feel pressured to ride faster than you can manage.

The desert ride is the main active part of the outing. You travel in a group over flat sand and toward the mountain area, with stops for photographs and brief explanations about the desert. Several people especially liked the views and the feeling of riding in a line of quads through the Sinai.

Dust is unavoidable. Wear closed shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dirty. A scarf is useful around your face and neck, but it is sold separately for about $3. ATV goggles are also optional extras. Sunglasses help, though one price account listed $7 for a pair at the site, so bring your own if possible.

The quad ride is the real highlight

Sharm El Sheikh Super Safari 5<em>1 ATV Quad, Stargazing,Camel Ride,Dinner, Shows – The quad ride is the real highlight’ /></p>
<p><p>If you book this trip mainly for the quad biking, you are likely to get the best value from it. The ride gives you more active time than the camel stop, and the open desert makes a sharper impression than a short circuit near town.</p>
</p>
<p><p>The pace is designed for a mixed group. You first gain confidence on easier ground, then continue through the desert with the guide leading the way. Some people would prefer more pauses for personal photographs, while others will be happy to keep moving. If taking pictures matters to you, tell the guide early that you would like a few safe stops using your own phone.</p>
</p>
<p><p>Be aware that staff may also offer photographs taken during the ride. You can buy photos if you want them, but this is not included. Keep your phone secure and agree on any price before accepting photography help. One account also warned about people taking photos on a phone and then asking for money. A polite no is enough if you do not want the service.</p>
</p>
<p><p>The ride can work well for families with older children who are permitted to operate or share the ATV under the provider’s rules. The tour says most people can participate, but it does not give a detailed minimum age or medical restriction. If anyone in your party has mobility, balance, or back concerns, ask the operator before booking.</p>
