★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,084 reviews · from $35Our pick

Guides such as Emad, Bishoy, Sasa, and Zain are praised for keeping mixed-language groups organized. Private-track upgrades offer more freedom.

“It’s definitely a must-do experience. The quad biking isn’t amazing, I understand for safety they have to go very slow but it definitely takes away from the experience. I’d recommend smaller sized groups to enjoy it more - outside of that the rest is simply amazing. The dessert, the Bedouin culture, the camel rides, food, teas, fire show. Really a must-have experience in Sharm el sheikh and the best part is the guides and staff, very friendly, very helpful, genuinely brilliant hosts :)”
