    Hurghada

Introduction

A red sea destination in Egypt that has become a prime tourist site is called Hurghada.  It is well known for its coastal beauty and deserts. Apart from its crystal clear water and colourful fishes, the city also provides the scope of exploring the desert – the vast Eastern Desert. Riding a camel is one of the best ways to explore this setting.

Why Choose Camel Rides in Hurghada

Hurghada is situated on the Red Sea’s western shore; it stretches for about 40 km along a coastal strip. To the west lies the vast Eastern Desert which offers a variety of explorations. Camel rides are among the most unique things to do here to explore the region. When you ride a camel, you can enjoy the beauty of the desert and the rolling sand dunes while learning about the heritage and traditions of the Bedouin people who have made the desert their home. People can experience both coast and desert in one destination known as Hurghada.

The Best Locations for Camel Rides in and around Hurghada

Camel rides in Hurghada can take you to unique places where nature and Bedouin heritage complement each other perfectly. On the outskirts of the city, the desert provides a tranquil escape from the busy life filled with dullness and boredom. The neighbouring Bedouin villages are one of the popular places to visit there, where travelers can experience age-old traditions on a sand dune ride across soft, golden sands. The Red Sea mountains one of the most picturesque regions anywhere. Riding camelback on this mountain is really scenery and photography. The mountain with desert backdrop looks really beautiful. If you want to see all the different vistas of nature, head to a place located near the coast as it provides a beautiful opportunity to switch from the dunes to the sea. Desert calm to coast openness. Riding camels in Hurghada is not merely an activity, but an experience that immerses you in these two domains.

Tips for First-Time Camel Riders

One important factor for getting the most enjoyment out of your camel ride, is preparation. Pick lightweight clothing that covers your skin for sun protection, and don’t forget a comfy hat, plus a pair of sunglasses. While mounting and riding, always wear secured and closed shoes for safety. Before the journey begins, you must listen to the instructions of the guide as they will show you how to get onto the saddle smoothly and sit in the right way in order to maintain balance. Once you will be seated on camels, you should let your body sway with these animals and not be stiff. You should also keep a refillable water bottle and apply sunscreen in advance to stay cool and protected from the desert sun. Make sure you enjoy life. Camel riding is not only about the ride, it also invites you to make a connection to the land, culture and desert calmness.

Tour Details

Desert Safari in the Eastern Desert of Hurghada, Red Sea
The tour begins either at 7:00 AM or 12:00 PM. We offer both a morning and an afternoon program, tailored to your preferences.

Tour Start:
We pick you up directly from your hotel in a jeep and take you to the safari station, specifically designed for quad biking, motorcycles, and off-road vehicles. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your German-speaking guide, who will explain the facilities, including toilets, cafeteria, and other important areas. Afterward, you can take a short break before the adventure begins.

Tour Preparation:
Your guide will take you to the quad station and give you a detailed explanation on how to use the vehicles. This includes safety instructions and demonstrations on how to use the brakes, gears, and helmets. The guide will also help you tie a scarf for sun protection and put on a face mask for the ride.

Next, we prepare the quads and have a short test ride to ensure you feel comfortable with the vehicle. Don’t worry – all quads are fully automatic, require no prior driving experience, and no driver’s license. All you need to do is press the gas pedal, and to stop, simply use the brake.

The Adventure:
The ride will take you about 20 km out and 20 km back to a Bedouin village in the western desert. Along the way, you will enjoy stunning views of the desert landscape: sand dunes, desert terrain, and the Red Sea mountain range, rich in natural resources such as phosphate, manganese, basalt, and red and black granite.

In the Bedouin Village:
Upon arrival at the Bedouin village, we take a short break to enjoy a cup of traditional Bedouin tea. This black tea, mixed with herbs, calms the nerves and cools the body from the desert heat. During this time, your German-speaking guide will provide fascinating insights into Bedouin culture, history, and origins. You’ll learn about the number of tribes, their way of life, and how they survive in the desert.

Afterward, we take a tour of the Bedouin village where you’ll see how the locals cook, bake traditional Bedouin bread, and you can taste the freshly baked bread. You’ll also have the opportunity to ride a camel and capture unforgettable photos.

Return Trip:
We put on our helmets, tie our scarves, and wear our protective glasses before embarking on the thrilling return ride to the safari station – another 20 km through the breathtaking desert.

Upon arrival at the station, we take a short break. The guide will organize your transfer back to your hotel and say goodbye, wishing you well. You’ll return with wonderful memories of a unique adventure.
