Explore the Eastern Desert near Marsa Alam on a guided two-hour quad safari with hotel transfer, safety briefing, and varied trails across sand plains and gentle dunes. The pace is controlled with a midway photo stop.
The safari starts with hotel pickup in Marsa Alam and transfer toward the desert quad station. On arrival, the team organises a registration process and delivers a detailed safety briefing covering how to accelerate, brake, and maintain safe spacing. You then take part in a supervised test drive in a practice area so you understand the quad controls before heading into the desert.
