Excursion Explore the bedouin life by 4x4 tour at Safaga

Explore the Bedouin lifestyle and stark beauty of the Arabian Desert during this picturesque, half-day Jeep safari.

Depart the pier in an air-conditioned coach toward Hurghada city for approximately 45-minute drive up to desert entrance where your 4 x 4 Land Cruiser will be waiting for you. Enjoy an approximately 30-minutes drive through the Arabian Desert to the Bedouin camp; the desert drive offers scenic views and photo opportunities.

Upon arrival at the Bedouin camp, you are welcomed by the Bedouins and taken on a tour of their camp whilst learning about their culture and lifestyle. During your visit, sample their famous aromatic tea and flat bread prepared over a wood fire. An optional photo opportunity on the back of one of the camels is available by paying a small token (US $1.00 at the time of printing) to the camel's owner.

At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your Jeep for a drive through the desert to your motor coach followed by a drive back to the pier.
