Desert Safari by Buggy in Sharm El Sheikh: Dunes, Speed & Sunset (Minimum 8 People)

2 hours

Moderate

Take the wheel and hit the dunes! Race across the Sinai sands in a 4-wheel desert buggy, stop for photos at the magnificent sunset, and warm up with traditional Bedouin tea.

Ready for an unforgettable ride? Our Desert Safari by Buggy Vehicles is a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that puts you right in the driver's seat, with nothing but open desert ahead.

The fun starts with pickup from your hotel. Once you reach the desert, put on your helmet, start the engine of your 4-wheel buggy, and head out across the sand. For about 2 hours, you'll glide, twist, and bounce through the dunes, feeling the rush of the desert wind with every turn.

Between the thrills, pause for photo breaks at the magnificent sunset, when the desert glows in golden light and every picture turns out beautifully. Then relax with a cup of warm, aromatic Bedouin tea, served the traditional way.

Traveling as a couple or with a friend? Pick the 2-seat buggy. Bringing the family or a group? The 4-seat buggy lets everyone share the adventure.

This is more than a ride. It's a burst of adrenaline, a few great photos, and a story you'll be telling long after you've shaken the sand out of your shoes.

    Equipment Rules (Weight and Usage)

    • Weight Limits: If you're booking one ATV for two people, the total weight needs to be no more than 150 kg (or 330 pounds).
    • Required Adjustment: Exceeding the limit requires a separate ATV, which incurs an extra charge equal to the price difference.

    • Passenger Assignment: If the separated person is unable to drive the ATV, they will be assigned as a passenger to their partner or the instructor, and the price difference will still be charged(no refund).

    Legal and Fleet Standards

    • ATV Classification: ATVs in Egypt are standardized and not marketed as separate single- or double-seaters. The excursion price includes the equipment rental and roundtrip hotel transfers.
    • Equipment Upkeep: Due to economic factors in Egypt affecting fleet updates to the latest models; equipment condition is under constant inspection and maintenance to ensure good working order.
    What to bring

      Essential Gear

      • Sunglasses (Mandatory): Absolutely required. The desert sand is very fine; driving without eye protection will make it impossible to keep your eyes open.
      • Headwear (Keffiyeh / Shemagh): Necessary to wrap around your head and face (like a mask) to filter dust and protect from the sun.
      • Closed-Toe Shoes (Strict Rule): Sandals or flip-flops are forbidden. The quad engine generates significant heat near the ankles, and protective footwear is needed against loose, kicked-up rocks. Wear old sneakers you do not mind getting dusty.
      💰 Cost Saver Tip: Buy your protective headwear (scarf/shemagh) at the "Old Market" or near your hotel in advance for major savings. Prices at the Quad Center are significantly marked up.

      Logistics & Health

      • Hydration: Bring a bottle of water from your hotel. Water sold at the quad centers is often priced three times higher.
      • Sunscreen: Apply a generous amount before leaving your hotel. You will be exposed to direct sunlight for approximately one hour.
      • Small Cash: Carry small Egyptian Pounds (50s or 100s) or single US Dollars. This is needed for optional but customary guide tipping or to purchase additional beverages (like soda) at the Bedouin tent.
      • Camera Safety: If bringing a mobile phone, ensure it is secured in a zippered pocket. The bumpy ride can cause loose items in shallow pockets to bounce out and be permanently lost in the sand.
