Book a Hurghada Desert Safari and discover a completely different side of the Red Sea destination through quad biking, mountain landscapes, Bedouin hospitality, camel riding, sunset views, and optional evening entertainment.
The Eastern Desert begins close to Hurghada’s coastal resorts, making it possible to leave the beach behind and reach open desert terrain without spending an entire day traveling. Depending on the program selected, you can focus on an extended quad bike ride or choose a complete safari combining several vehicles, dinner, and live shows.
Hurghada Travels currently offers two main desert experiences. The three-hour quad bike tour is designed for travelers wanting more driving time, while Super Safari provides a complete afternoon or evening program with a quad, Jeep, buggy, village visit, meal, and entertainment.
Explore the available Hurghada tours and desert safaris and select the experience that matches your time, comfort level, and preferred activities.
Book Hurghada Desert Safari
A Hurghada Desert Safari can be booked as a focused quad bike adventure or a wider combination program.
The main official options are:
- A three-hour quad bike safari covering 60 kilometres.
- A six-hour Super Safari with several vehicles and evening activities.
- Morning, midday, and sunset departure choices.
- Shared hotel transportation from Hurghada.
- Bedouin village and camel-riding experiences.
- Professional guides and safety instructions.
Choose the program based on the experience you actually want rather than the number of activities alone.
The extended quad tour is better when driving is your priority. Super Safari is more suitable when you want adventure, cultural activities, dinner, and live entertainment through one reservation.
Hurghada Quad Bike Safari
The official 3 Hours Quad Bike Tour Hurghada currently starts from €25 per person.
Unlike short rides around the safari station, this program covers approximately 60 kilometres through the desert. Participants ride about 30 kilometres to the Bedouin village before completing another 30 kilometres on the return journey.
The program includes:
- Hurghada hotel pickup and return.
- Three hours of desert activities.
- A 60-kilometre quad route.
- Safety instructions and a test drive.
- A professional desert guide.
- Helmet use.

No previous quad bike experience is required. The convoy follows a professional guide at a controlled pace throughout the route.
Quad Safari Departure Times
The official quad safari currently operates with three daily departures:
- 11:00 AM.
- 1:00 PM.
- 3:00 PM.
The 3:00 PM departure is designed to include desert sunset views, although the exact sunset timing depends on the season.
Choose the morning departure when you prefer cooler summer conditions and want the rest of the day available.
Choose the afternoon departure when you want warmer light, mountain photographs, and the opportunity to experience sunset during the program.
The exact hotel pickup time is confirmed after booking and may be earlier than the tour departure because of transportation to the safari station.
Super Safari Hurghada
The official Super Safari Hurghada currently starts from €25 per person and provides a wider range of activities than the dedicated quad tour.
The program combines:

Super Safari is suitable for travelers wanting a varied program rather than spending most of the excursion driving one vehicle.
Super Safari Daily Schedule
The current official departure options are:
- Approximately 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
- Approximately 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
The 1:00 PM departure is normally the better choice for sunset views and evening entertainment.

The journey offers views of:
- Eastern Desert mountains.
- Wide sandy valleys.
- Rocky desert terrain.
- Remote tracks.
- Sunset landscapes.
- Open skies away from Hurghada.
The route can be bumpy. Travelers with serious back, neck, mobility, or spinal conditions should consider the physical demands before reserving the program.

Hurghada Safari Buggy Ride
Super Safari also includes an approximately 15-minute Spider Buggy experience.

Before driving:
- Attend the safety briefing.
- Secure loose clothing.
- Keep phones inside a closed bag.
- Follow the marked route.

The experience may include:
- Traditional tea.
- An introduction to desert life.
- Local hospitality.
- A short camel ride.

Hurghada Camel Ride
A short camel ride is included during the village section.
The activity is designed as a simple introduction and photography opportunity rather than a long desert trek.
Follow the handler’s instructions carefully:
- Wait until the camel is ready.
- Hold the saddle securely.
- Lean back as the camel stands.
- Avoid sudden movements.
- Keep cameras attached securely.
- Allow the handler to control the animal.

The Super Safari meal generally includes:

- Salads.
- Egyptian bread.
- Vegetable or side dishes.
- Soft drinks.
The exact buffet can change according to the daily camp arrangements.
Tell the booking team in advance about vegetarian requirements, food allergies, or important dietary restrictions.
The meal is part of the complete desert atmosphere and provides a relaxed break before the evening entertainment begins.
Hurghada Safari Shows
Super Safari finishes with an oriental entertainment program.
The show may feature:
- Traditional Tanoura dancing.
- Oriental belly dancing.
- Music.
- A fire performance.
Individual performances can change according to the operating camp and daily schedule.
