Marsa Alam Desert Safari & Bedouin Dinner
Overview
Embark on an exhilarating desert safari from Marsa Alam! Ride quad bikes, experience Bedouin culture, and enjoy a delicious barbecue under the stars…
This desert safari from Marsa Alam pairs an hour of quad biking through the Eastern Desert's mountains with a Bedouin village visit and dinner, run over an afternoon and evening. After a transfer from the Marsa Alam hotel and a briefing at the quad bike station, riders head into the desert's rugged terrain and distinctive rock formations before arriving at a Bedouin village.
At the village, the visit centers on Bedouin traditions and hospitality, with a barbecue dinner served as the sun sets over the desert, closing out the trip before the transfer back to Marsa Alam hotels.
Round-trip transfers, the quad bike safari, a certified safari guide, the Bedouin village visit, the barbecue dinner, and complimentary mineral water are included; personal expenses and gratuities for the guide and driver are not.
It suits travelers based in Marsa Alam looking for an active afternoon away from the Red Sea beaches, pairing motorized desert riding with the slower rhythm of Bedouin hospitality as the sun goes down, with the timing built around sunset so the barbecue dinner follows almost directly after the ride.
