Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner

1.Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner

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

Spend an afternoon and evening outside Sharm El-Sheikh with hotel pickup, a 45 km ATV or buggy ride, camel trek, Bedouin tea and bread, BBQ dinner, shows, and telescope stargazing. 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 :)”

The crew were friendly, attentive and made sure everyone felt safe and relaxed. The snorkelling itself was unforgettable — crystal-clear water, colourful coral, and so many vibrant fish. My husband and I loved every moment, and even my 2yr old enjoyed the trip. White Island was absolutely stunning and felt like paradise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Sharm!”

“A very well organized trip starting with the communication the day before via Whatsapp, to the transfer to the airport, the pick up at Cairo airport and then the day itself. Ahmed was our guide for the day and was very passionate and knowledgeable about virtually everything. We arrived early in Cairo so jumped on a boat to cruise up the Nile for a bit. Then to the old museum before it opened so we were amongst the first to go in. Time flew inside and couldn't believe we spent 2 hours inside with Ahmed guiding us. You could spend all day in there given the chance. A new museum…”

15.Mount Moses Trekking, Sunrise & Monastery Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 698 reviews · 17 hours · from $50

Leave Sharm El Sheikh at night for a guided climb of Mount Sinai, reaching the 2,285-meter summit before sunrise. Bedouin guides assist on the trail, while an Egyptologist leads the monastery visit. Expect a hard 7-kilometer ascent, cold wind at the top, basic facilities, and a long return day.

“The description of what is excluded needs to be updated when it comes to non-hotel services. They will give you a meeting point for pick up and drop off, not directly to your accommodation. The guide for the hike itself, walks very fast so the trip going up the mountain will not be at your own pace. Other than that, a beautiful experience. Definitely a must do!”
