You will be picked up from your hotel in Marsa Alam in the afternoon and drive to Sheikh Malek, 25 kilometers north of Marsa Alam airport. Once you feel comfortable on the quad bike, ride through the desert for approximately 22 kilometers between the mountains of the Eastern desert to a Bedouin village to visit a local tribe.
At the Bedouin village, you’ll be welcomed with tea and learn more about the life and traditions. See how traditional bread is baked, see the water well, and try smoking a water pipe. Then you’ll take a camel ride to witness the amazing views of the sunset. Afterwards, have a barbeque dinner in the heart of the mountains.
Enjoy watching a Bedouin show and you savour a delicious barbeque open buffet dinner. The show includes the performance of folk songs, and belly dancing. At the end of the evening, you will drive your quad bike back to the station, then transfer back to your hotel in Marsa Alam.
