Desert buggy through Bella Trips tour company
Trip was very well organised by the travel company Bella trips and we had a lovely time riding desert buggys in Sharm El Sheikh. Our driver which we had arranged through the booking was punctual and friendly and our time in the desert was fun with our guide helping us ride the buggys. Overall brilliant experience. We enjoyed booking with Bella Trips, we booked with them again for another excursion
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and opinions with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us, and we look forward to seeing you again. 🤍

Poor experience and not straight forward
Starting off the communication initially started well, then we heard nothing from them till the day before. On the day of the trip we had left the hotel and had no WiFi on our phone, we received a message from them but did not receive this until the trip was over, this message told us there would be an extra cost of £5 per person on top of what we had already paid. When we got to the location they took us into a small grotty compound, we were told to sit down and a man came over and started to ask us where our scarves were, we told them we had none, and we're charged $4 each for them, then we were asked for £5 each, I asked what this was for and just kept getting a reply of you must pay. I told him I had already paid for my trip and he made some phone calls, he eventually walked away and we got put in our buggy, he then came over and handed me his phone and somebody spoke to me in English and told me I had to pay it for safari fees and we could not go without it so I had to pay. We set off into the desert and after 5 minutes our buggy broke down and we had to leave it where it was, we eventually had to take one of the guids quads. We then got to a small compound where we were taken inside and sat there and were mithered to buy refreshments, oils and the guide sold us videos of what he had taken for £20, he then went to another family and sold them the same package for £10. We then set off back on the buggies as ours had been replaced. We got in this quad on the way back and it kept stalling. In total the whole trip from being picked up at the hotel to getting back to the hotel lasted 90 minutes, the total drive time on the buggies/quads lasted only around 25 minutes in total, the rest of the time was spent in the mini bus and people trying to sell us items. I would avoid this trip altogether.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We take comments like this very seriously, and we would like to clarify a few important points. All additional fees are clearly mentioned in advance before booking, and are also reconfirmed via WhatsApp and email prior to the trip to ensure full transparency for all guests. These are standard desert safari fees applied on-site and are not hidden. Regarding your experience on the day, this is not the level of service we aim to provide. We would like to investigate this case in detail, including the communication, equipment used, and staff involved. Please kindly provide your booking reference number or contact us directly, so we can review the exact trip date, identify the guide/team, and check the recorded footage if available. Your feedback is important to us, and we are committed to maintaining a professional and transparent experience for all our guests. Bella Trips Team

Cheap and a little fun.
The transfer was fine, the staff were polite and good price. But it was a little boring we were made to just flow the lead directly behind him and we did not get very fast.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the buggy trip and that the transfer and staff met your expectations. Regarding the speed during the ride, desert safari and buggy tours in Sharm El Sheikh must follow safety regulations set by local tourism authorities, and guides are required to keep the group together to ensure the safety of all guests. These rules are applied to every tour, especially when guests have different driving experience levels. Safety is always our first priority, even if this sometimes means the ride feels slower than expected. We appreciate your comments and hope to see you again on another excursion in Egypt.

Would recommend-well organised
This trip was booked very last minute and they accommodated the request with an excellent price, very competitive compared to the price the hotel offers We did the family buggy 2 hour trip which was great. Just enough time to have a desert experience without being out all day. The pick up was on time and well communicated beforehand. The trip felt safe and well organised which I appreciated as a single parent with 2 children on my own. We stopped for a camel ride for a small tip but it was very low pressure, you didn’t have to if you didn’t want to, but it was worth it for some photos and some laughs! They were very nice people with a good sense of humour would definitely recommend Bella Trips if you are looking for an Egyptian experience at a reasonable cost for your family Thank you for the memories!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Louise, for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip and that our team could accommodate your last-minute booking smoothly. Your kind words about the organization and value mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again on another great adventure soon 🌸 Bella Trips Team

Buggy ride
We enjoyed the buggy ride experience, but I should have done motorbike ride, though we broke down, lucky for me to give us chance to take pictures, Amar the guide was very helpful and very accommodating. Thinking to come back to do motorbike ride
Response from the operator: Dear Nora, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the buggy ride overall and that Amar was helpful and accommodating during the trip. We appreciate your understanding regarding the temporary technical issue, and we’re glad it didn’t prevent you from having a good time and capturing great photos. We look forward to welcoming you back for the motorbike ride next time! Kind regards, Bella Trips Team

Desert Buggy Adventure with Camel Ride from Sharm El Sheikh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Desert Buggy Adventure with Camel Ride from Sharm El Sheikh cost?
+
Prices start at $17 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 Desert Buggy Adventure with Camel Ride from Sharm El Sheikh take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Desert Buggy Adventure with Camel Ride from Sharm El Sheikh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 90 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 Desert Buggy Adventure with Camel Ride from Sharm El Sheikh?
+
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 Desert Buggy Adventure with Camel Ride from Sharm El Sheikh suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Desert Buggy Adventure with Camel Ride from Sharm El Sheikh?
+
Around 31 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Desert Buggy Adventure with Camel Ride from Sharm El Sheikh 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 Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. 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.
