Good day out, worth the money. Buggy’s driving, quad bikes, short camel ride and 25km drive each way in 4x4 over the desert by professional driver, bit bumpy at times, uneven terrain as expected! Great fun. Does get warm and can be dusty

Many people travel to Egypt for the sea and indeed, the Red Sea offers stunningly clear waters and a fascinating underwater world. But if you get tired of spending all day on the beach, with only occasional breaks for the all‑you‑can‑eat meals, I'd recommend a trip to Sahara Safari. These tours come under various names - you might find jeep safaris, quad biking, visits to Bedouin villages, and perhaps other activities too. Whatever the label, this is where you are going to find relatively active experiences. The scale of the operation looks convincing, and plenty of tourists come here. We opted for a quad bike and buggy ride, plus a visit to a Bedouin village. First, you will need to buy a keffiyeh scarf (if you haven’t already). If you buy a tour, you will be warned you in advance, so you can prepare. On site they will show you how to wear it properly. And it's not just for show, it is a real defense against the sand (of which there will be plenty, all flying straight into your face). The quad bikes are well‑used but still run and handle well - what more do you need? -) Driving a buggy is also interesting: it takes off immediately, handles very firmly, and you need a little time to get used to it after driving regular cars. But since you are in the desert, crashing is unlikely. Plus, a staff member is always there to assist you. Yes, children work here too, but they handle the vehicles with impressive confidence. Next, we headed to a Bedouin village. We were told these are real people living there. There are Bedouins who live in the mountains and, to put it mildly, aren’t particularly fond of visitors. This village earns from tourism. The experience is mixed… On one hand, it is an extremely modest life, and every penny earned from tips, selling bracelets, or gathering herbs clearly makes a big difference to the community. On the other, the landscape is utterly breathtaking, especially in the late afternoon, as the sun begins to set. If you can, climb a hill - from there you will get a stunning view of… I'm not sure what to call it. Perhaps eternity (pardon the grandeur). And the camel ride is fascinating too: at some point, you figure out how to sit, swaying to the rhythm, and you think - perhaps travelers across the Middle East moved just like this, a hundred, two hundred, or a thousand years ago… A remarkable place, with plenty of options for active fun. The memories will certainly stay with you for life, and photos of the village will occasionally remind you that life for most of us - reader of Google Maps - is pretty good, really.

The thing that disappointed me the most in Egypt. It all boils down to extracting as much money as possible from tourists. the safari itself is in an unattractive part of the desert, with very poor and dilapidated vehicles. What particularly disappointed me was the greed of photographers who want 35 euros for shots and photos, even though the tour itself rarely costs more than 20 euros. The most positive moment is riding a camel.
