About this experience
You will be picked up from your hotel in Marsa Alam in the afternoon and driven to our meeting spot, where your 2.5-hour journey into the middle of the desert will start. In order to visit a Bedouin tribe and learn more about their way of life and traditions, first drive your quad around 25 to 30 kilometers between the mountains of the eastern desert to a Bedouin community (houses, food, education, religion, etc.).
You can try a Bedouin tea if you want to. A stunning acacia tree growing in the middle of the desert may also be seen by taking a 10-15 minute camel ride. Later, take other quad tracks back to the quad runner station to explore and take in even more of the stunning desert scenery. After that, you'll be taken back to your hotel. You will be given one complimentary bottles of water throughout your memorable journey.
