Marsa Alam: Desert Quad Bike, Camel Ride, and Bedouin Tour

After pickup from your hotel in Marsa Alam, the trip starts with a safety briefing and instructions on how to ride the quad bike. You do not need any earlier quad biking experience. The ride lasts 90 minutes. It crosses the Eastern Desert over sand dunes, through valleys and along mountain trails, and takes you to the Bedouin village. At the camp you have breakfast and tea, then take a short ride on a camel. You also go into a traditional Bedouin tent and visit a local herb pharmacy, where the herbs and natural remedies of the region are explained. Afterwards you are taken back to your hotel; the whole trip lasts about 4 hours. The tour is offered in English, French, German and Italian, and it suits beginners. Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes, and bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a scarf against the dust. Tips are optional.
