What to Expect from the Tour

The adventure kicks off with a pickup from your Hurghada hotel, taking about 45 minutes to reach the quad biking location. From there, you’ll have the chance to test drive the ATV, where the guides are quick to ensure everyone understands how to operate the vehicle safely. This initial session is helpful, especially if you’re new to quad biking, as reviewers appreciated the professional guidance.

Once everyone’s comfortable, the real fun begins—you’ll race through the sand dunes, feeling the thrill of maneuvering over the shifting sands. The tour is designed to be adventure-rich, with enough time allocated for participants to get a good dose of dune-bashing. The total riding time of around 45 minutes is generally enough for most to enjoy the adrenaline rush without feeling rushed.

The Bedouin Village Stop

After the dune fun, the group heads to a traditional Bedouin village, which is a highlight for many travelers. Here, you’ll experience a relaxing moment with Bedouin tea, a warm, black brew often served with local hospitality. This cultural stop allows for pictures, chatting with locals, and learning about their lifestyle.

Camel Ride and Cultural Touches

Adding a touch of authenticity, many participants enjoy riding a camel around the village, a gentle way to see the area and snap some memorable photos. This part of the experience is fairly relaxed, providing a nice contrast to the high-energy dune busting.
