Quad & camel ride with Bedouin dinner in Sharm el Sheikh

Ways through the desert, a night under the sky

A quad and camel activity in Sharm el Sheikh combines a 1.5-hour desert ride on an all-terrain vehicle with a camel trek to a Bedouin village, where you eat a traditional Egyptian dinner and soft drinks. Hotel pickup is included. Children from age 4 are welcome, and infants sit on an adult's lap.

The experience

The quad station sits in the desert outside Sharm el Sheikh. After a briefing on how to handle the machine, you ride for about 1.5 hours through open sand and rock, moving fast enough to feel the wind and slow enough to see the landscape change. The route takes you toward a Bedouin village where the pace shifts entirely: you dismount, meet the villagers, and drink tea before mounting a camel for a gentler trek through the same terrain you just crossed at speed.

Dinner happens in the village under lights strung between structures, with typical Egyptian food and soft drinks served family-style. The setting is simple and the meal is straightforward: no elaborate presentation, just food meant to be eaten together. After eating, the transfer back to the quad station and then to your hotel closes the loop. The whole outing runs about five hours from pickup to drop-off.

A single quad costs extra per person if you want to ride alone rather than share. Otherwise, the activity is shared. Children from age 4 can participate. Younger children sit on an adult's lap during the quad portion. The operator notes the activity suits all fitness levels, though riding a quad for 1.5 hours and then mounting a camel requires basic comfort with movement and balance.

The activity mixes fast movement on a quad with slower camel time, so it suits travelers who want both speed and a cultural pause in one afternoon, rather than a full day of either one alone.
