Best Desert Safari in Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh is famous for the Red Sea, but its other great adventure is inland. Just beyond the resorts, the Sinai desert delivers big mountain views, Bedouin hospitality, glowing sunsets and some of the clearest night skies you will ever see. Here is how to choose the best desert safari.

Why do a desert safari?

It is the perfect half-day contrast to a beach holiday: adrenaline, culture and scenery all in one trip. Most people rate the sunset safari as the highlight of their week.

What is usually included

• Quad bike / ATV ride across the open desert (twin quads are available if you would rather ride together).
• Camel ride the traditional way.
• A stop at a Bedouin village for sweet tea and a taste of local life.
• Dinner or a BBQ, often with a show – and on clear nights, stargazing.

Which safari should you pick?

• Sunset Safari – the classic; quad, camel and the desert glowing gold.
• Morning Safari – cooler and quieter, great for families.
• Super Safari – the full experience with dinner, Bedouin show and stargazing.
• Private Safari – your own guide and vehicle, at your own pace.

What to wear and bring

Closed shoes, sunglasses and a scarf for the dust, plus a light jacket for the evening – the desert cools quickly after sunset. Bring a little cash for extras and photos.

Is it family-friendly?

Yes. Children can ride along with an adult, and the pace is relaxed and well supervised. In winter, the cooler air makes the whole trip even more comfortable.
