“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,…”

Collected from our hotel then driven to a gathering area where we could leave bags, get food and drink and where we returned to between activities. Quad bike, sand buggy rides, then a jeep ride to a Bedouin village. A long and at times bumpy ride but worth it to have a camel ride and explore the village. Then back for an included buffet and show, with hotel drop off afterwards. Tiring but well worth it!”
