Very well organised. Certainly enjoyed the Camel ride itself .Only criticism was the pick up .Confusion over Reception and Secu

We enjoyed the Camel Ride .Only criticism was the pick up .We waited at Hotel Security Gate as told .But they went to Reception

Response from the operator: Thank you for the feedback ❤️ normally our default meeting point beside the security main gate of the hotels, because some hotels don't allow excursions cars to reach the reception area, but if we can go to the reception area, look for our clients there and if we don't find them we look for them beside the security main gate, and normally we are in contact with our clients via WhatsApp.

Not as expected…

Was hoping for true Egyptian experience but didn’t quite deliver. Camel ride was spoilt by quad bikes zipping past all the time . The tour states camel ride for hour - it’s actually 25 mins to the site & then car drive back. Tea offered in village is nice idea but surrounded by flies & rubbish, didn’t really get the right affect. The photographer did take some great photos which make the trip look far better than it actually was!

Response from the operator: Thank you

HUGH_J · October 2024

Very poor value for £15.

The uncomfortable nature of a camel ride which was necessarily cut short due hip and thigh pain. Also the annoyingly usual pressure (comon in Sharm) of the host insisting on taking posed photos for extra money, which I resisted.

Response from the operator: The camel ride is not very comfortable, and buying photos is not obligatory, thank you for your feedback

Camel ride in Sharm elsheikh desert: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.

How much does Camel ride in Sharm elsheikh desert cost?

+

Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Camel ride in Sharm elsheikh desert take?

+

Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.

Is Camel ride in Sharm elsheikh desert worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Camel ride in Sharm elsheikh desert?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Camel ride in Sharm elsheikh desert suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Camel ride in Sharm elsheikh desert?

+

Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Camel ride in Sharm elsheikh desert start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?

+

On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Top Sights, ATV Quad Bike & Camel Ride, Echo Mountain – Sharm El Sheikh, Sharm : Cairo Excursion by Flight, Pyramid GEM or Ancient Museum. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
