Safari Hourghada - "My day in the desert was absolutely fantastic, and much of that is due to our exceptional guide. Thanks to his passion and extensive knowledge, we were able to explore the majestic landscapes of the desert in an enriching way. He took with us .it was fascinating ones really added magic to the experience. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the desert in an authentic and unforgettable way

Superb afternoon Quad and other in the desert 🤩 - Very beautiful afternoon with our Moka, perfect in his accompaniment of this activity...
The quad, buggy parts are nice... Then Check-out by Jeep to the Bedouin village in the desert, to see and think about taking some change for the locals who give you a little camel ride and serve you tea.
The late night show with the meal are basic but it remains a good time to finish the day.
Thanking Moka for her kindness and availability all day 🥰

Team Ahmed AKA Team Shawaawa - Listen if you want to arrive to your destination in a true Egyptian style then this is the trip for you!
Upon arrival we were put into our group for the day and had the pleasure of having Ahmed! And he's great photographer looking after us!
The safety demo of the ATV's was quick but informative really good fun racing through the sandy hills
After the ATVs it was time for the Spider buggys again another great way to to get around the sandy hills my boy who's 8 years old loved it.
Heading to the camels was a great adventure lots of laughter the camels were great! And hospitality was lovely' would of liked a longer time on the Camels but if you asked you could have another go.
The event finished with some lovely Egyptian food back at the main base we and traditional Egyptian entertainment.
Would highly reccomend.
Please be sure to bring some cash for some tips I wish I had more to give the team were Great!
Thank you see you again

Quad bike safari and more - Our tour guide 'Makarious' was excellent, not too pushy and also helpful. I would give him 5 stars if the review was only about him. This review is for the whole trip, though.
Overall it was a lot of fun, the only reasons why I gave it 4 stars was I would have preferred more time on the quad, the drive to the local village was quite long, and the camel riding felt about uncomfortable (felt sorry for the camels) but this was just a personal opinion and you don't have to do it. Also, you don't have much time to sit and rest between activities. But, overall, I would recommend.

Awful organization - The tour itself could have been a nice tour if was not for the disastrous organization.
Pick up, apart from being late 20 minutes (no biggie), was a 2 benched van super uncomfortable with no AC and with 8 people squeezed in.
After getting in the spot we waited extra 1hour and 30 minutea for the first buggy ride to happene because there was a lot of confusion with each tariff included and which not for every person.
The time of the day was not the best for the ride into the desert; the quad was fun tought.
Afterwards you have to drive 30 minutes deep into the desert to get to the beduin village; the camel ride is litterally 10 meters up and down (maybe 1 or 2 minutes).
Than waiting more time without really doing anything.
And then after pushing with extra things and tipping we rode back to the dinner spot but, after 10 minutes driving back into the desert our tour guide tought he forgot his mobile phone in the beduin village and made all of us (8 person in the same type of crappy van) go back only to realize he just dropped his phone inside the car.
The dinner was ok but was rushed togheter with the show during to thier constant waste of time.
The pick up back to the hotel was another hell ride into this creepy van and on top of that after the first pick up the driver stops and smoke a cigarette togheter with some people.
It had been a nightmare of organization, really really a disaster; i had many tours in many country of the world (including Egypt) but the organization of this one tour has been by far the worst one in my life.

Horrible ! - This activity is a scam. Be ready to be fully disappointed. Additional costs, tour in quad is just ridiculous. You are in a line turning on a post in the middle of hundreds of others. The camel ride was shorter than 2min. The Bedouin village is not Bedouin at all, there is nothing to see at all and you will wait with hundreds of other people. You even cannot walk around during waiting moments. It's really a shame! The worst is for the end. The dinner is just ridiculous and the show is a huge joke! Seriously, all groups were so disappointed! Avoid this activity and this company, you will be so so disappointed.

it's made up, boring, lame. Nothing is real and the quad and buggy part is a joke, a very bad one - Quad: you all have to go in one line, can not make turns, can not go 30cm out of the line, you have to be exactly 6m apart from each other no more no less. When you don't do this, when they think you are like 10cm too much forward or backwards or out of the line, they stop you, yell at you, and behave aggressively. The going is super slow, like walking. You try to go faster, they yell at you and cross your way aggressively and dangerously. In the meantime, all the "guides", photo people, and local children (like 10 years old) are racing around and across the line of tourists, super fast, having a lot of fun, and even laughing at the tourists, that they can not do this, just the super lame and slow one line. It's a joke, a very very bad one. It's making up ridiculous rules and then making fun of the tourists while the tourists can not enjoy anything of it.
The quads are also in bad condition, they constantly stop by themselves, you need to restart the engine over and over again, etc
Even like that the quad part is extremely short. 10 mins quad, 15 minutes pause (for what??) then another 5-10 mins quad and that was it.
Then the exact same with the buggy/spider car, only even shorter, like half the time. People did not want to stop for photo, everyone wanted to keep going and also enjoy the ride, but they did not allow this. They did not allow anything.
Oh and yeah, it really does not matter what package / agency / company / guide you book, as ALL GROUPS are taken to the very same place, where the "desert camp" guys take over and control everything.
Thus no chance whatsoever to have an adventurous or even enjoyable experience. Shame :(
My advice is to just avoid this whole type of activity/excursion.
The program schedule is constructed with tons of time waiting at the "camp" while nothing is happening (so that you buy some drinks at skyrocketing prices). The whole active part could be done in less than half the time.
11:20 announced pickup time
--???--
12:00 actual pickup time
12:50 arrive at the "camp"
--nothing happens, waiting in the camp, sitting at the bar--
13:40 quad starts
13:53 we stop for what???
14:07 quad continues
14:17 quad finish
--nothing happens, waiting in the camp, sitting at the bar--
14:35 buggy starts
14:41 we stop for what???
14:50 buggy continues
14:55 buggy finish
--nothing happens, waiting in the camp, sitting at the bar--
15:20 jeep ride starts to "beduin village" (fake)
15:55 arriving to beduin village where:
-literally 2 minutes camel ride
-2minutes fake bread making
-optional visit to animals of desert museum for extra money
-everyone getting a micro mug of "beduin" tea, served by a fake-beduin (one of the "guides" putting on a burnous for the 3 minutes of serving)
-for about 40 minutes --nothing happens-- while they approach everyone one by one to sell the photos for 20 dollars extra per person
17:10 start going back from beduin village to base camp, where
-dinner is very little, it's not a buffet but they portion the food for you, and they refuse if you ask for more
-dance show is like 15 mins max
just dont go. save yourself the disappointment, frustration & money.
no matter how much research you make to find the "best" tour/company, unfortunately they are all the same.
