ATV Riding in Sharm el Sheikh: Desert & Water Sports

Ride a quad bike across golden desert, then switch to the water for parasailing and a glass-bottom boat.

Desert and water sports adventure in Sharm el Sheikh combining an ATV quad bike ride through the desert, camel ride, Bedouin tea break, parasailing, banana boat, and glass-bottom boat tour of the Red Sea. An 8-hour day with lunch, bottled water, and hotel pickup included. Guides speak English, Spanish, Italian and Turkish. Choose your activity mix at checkout. Add a scuba dive or skip the ATV for water sports only.

The experience

What's the best way to pack desert riding and Red Sea water sports into a single day in Sharm el Sheikh? This activity strings together the two in sequence: you start on a quad bike in the golden desert for 60 minutes, then move to a camel ride and a break at a traditional Bedouin tent with tea before the water portion begins. The structure means you're not choosing between landscapes. You get both, and the transition gives you a natural pause to recover between high-energy stretches.

The water side runs through four separate activities. Parasailing gives you five minutes airborne over the Red Sea, followed by a 10-minute banana boat ride, then an hour on a glass-bottom boat where you watch marine life through clear panels without getting wet. If you want to go under, a 15-minute introductory scuba dive is available as an option at checkout. Lunch and bottled water are built in to keep you fueled across the eight hours. An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel and brings you back at the end.

The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian or Turkish depending on your group. Three purchase options let you shape the day: add the ATV and camel to water sports, swap the ATV for a scuba dive instead, or stick to water activities alone. The only thing not included is a $5 government fee and any photos. You'll want to bring a camera or phone for the desert and the boat.
