What’s Included and How It Works
Starting with a hotel pickup, you’ll be comfortably transported in an air-conditioned vehicle to the quad bike center—a quick 15-minute drive from your hotel in Sharm el Sheikh. This short transfer is a bonus, saving you from navigating unfamiliar roads and allowing you to settle in before the adventure begins.
Once at the center, a guide will give you a brief training session on how to operate the quad bike. Even if you’re new to riding, the instructions are straightforward, and the guide is on hand to assist.

Guided by your escort, you’ll also take a break at a traditional Bedouin tent, where you can enjoy a cup of Bedouin tea—a small, genuine taste of desert hospitality. This stop is often cited as a highlight, offering a relaxed atmosphere and photo opportunities.
