Super Safari: the all-rounder
If it is your first time in the desert, this is the one. You ride a quad for 40 minutes and a buggy for 20, take a jeep to a Bedouin village, ride a camel and drink Bedouin tea with fresh bread. Then an open-buffet lunch and an oriental show with belly dance, tanoura and fire.
Quad tour: for riders
Three hours with more time on the quad: 25 km across the desert to the Bedouin village, with a camel ride and tea on arrival. Less show, more riding.
Stargazing: the desert after dark
The desert sky is the reason to stay late. Watch the sunset, have a BBQ dinner with a folklore show at a Bedouin camp, then look at the stars through telescopes with a guide.
Horse riding: slow and scenic
Two hours on horseback along the Red Sea beaches or the dunes. Calm, beautiful and great for photos.
What to wear in the desert
- Closed shoes
- Light clothes with long sleeves and trousers
