Experience a guided ATV quad bike safari through the Eastern Desert near Marsa Alam, combining off-road riding, a Bedouin village visit, and a short camel ride. This half-day activity includes hotel transfers and is suitable for beginners looking for a straightforward introduction to desert riding.
The experience starts with a hotel pickup from Marsa Alam, followed by a transfer to the quad bike meeting point in the Eastern Desert. On arrival, you’ll receive a short safety briefing and a basic driving test to ensure you’re comfortable with the quad before setting off. Once ready, the ride heads into the desert, covering roughly 22–30 km along established off-road routes between low mountains and open desert plains.
Midway through the ride, the group stops at a Bedouin village. Here, there is time to learn about traditional desert life, including housing, daily routines, and local customs. You’ll be offered Bedouin tea, have the option to smoke a water pipe, and take a short camel ride lasting around 10–15 minutes. A stop is also made near a large acacia tree, which is a natural feature of this part of the desert.
The return journey follows a different route back to the quad station, giving a slightly varied riding experience and more desert views. At the end of the ride, equipment is returned and you’ll be transferred back to your hotel. Pickup times can vary depending on hotel location and will be confirmed in advance via WhatsApp.
This activity takes place in the Eastern Desert surrounding Marsa Alam, an area known for wide open spaces, gravel plains, and low mountain ranges rather than high sand dunes. The terrain is well suited to quad biking, with long, open tracks that allow steady riding rather than technical manoeuvring.
Transfers are provided from hotels across Marsa Alam and nearby areas. Travel time to the quad station can vary depending on distance, and in some cases pickup may be earlier than expected to allow for multiple hotel stops. Exact timings are shared before the activity to help guests plan their day.
No previous quad biking experience is required, but participants should be comfortable operating a motorised vehicle and following instructions from a guide. A short test ride is included before departure to confirm basic control.
This activity is not recommended for pregnant travellers or for those with back or heart conditions due to vibration and uneven terrain. It is not wheelchair or stroller accessible, and infants must sit on a parent’s lap during transfers.
Operating since 2006, the team behind this experience brings long-standing local knowledge and a strong operational track record across Egypt. Activities are run under the appropriate tourism licences, with experienced guides who understand both the terrain and the needs of international visitors.
The focus is on reliable logistics, clear communication, and efficient organisation. With instant booking confirmation, included transfers, and guides who manage the activity at a steady, accessible pace, this experience is designed to run smoothly from hotel pickup through to return.
