15 BBQ Experiences in Egypt to Build a Day Around

1.Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,084 reviews · from $35Our pick

You’ll ride an ATV or buggy for 45 km with stops at Echo Point and a Bedouin camp, then enjoy tea, camel riding, sunset views, BBQ, shows, and telescope-guided stargazing. Guides including Emad, Bishoy, Sasa, and Zain are praised for keeping large multilingual groups organized.

“The day was amazing, everything we could have hoped for, it was a great experience we will never forget! Everyone was super helpful and friendly especially Emad he was the best! We think the only room for improvement really would be that the groups be smaller, and easier to manage and organise especially since there were so many different languages to manage which led to delays and waiting while everyone was briefed and sent to the right places but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed the experience!”

“Today’s trip was filled with laughter and joy. Our guide was Tariq and he took us on the safari jeep ride and it was definitely a rollercoaster. He gave us sweets at each stop which was a fun little treat. Mohammed was also with us and our family “Hakuna Matata” was very cute. Only thing - the dinner is not a full barbecue - it was just two pieces of kebab which is misleading. But all in all the trip was probably the best we’ve had in Egypt so far. The quad bike, jeep safari and the buggy ride were A LOT of fun. The entertainment was also very fun,…”

8.Cairo and Giza Highlights by mini Van with BBQ Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 172 reviews · from $75

Travel from Hurghada to Cairo and Giza in a small group of up to eight, with an Egyptologist guide, hotel pickup, lunch, museum and pyramid entry, and a planned felucca ride. Guides such as Ismail, Moshera, Hanan, and Abi have led particularly well-received trips, though English ability can vary.

“I would have given this trip five stars if it wasn't for a couple of incidents. The reason for the five stars is that it is a convenient (even if uncomfortable) way to visit Cairo when one has limited time in Hurghada. I knew the trip would be long and intense, so I cannot complain about that. However, there were a few things that we were quite upset about. First, our English guide didn't speak English very well, so it was very hard to follow the explanations. We were in a group with German and French guides and everyone seemed to follow better. Second, we were lied to twice. The…”
