Private Safari Tour & Camel Ride in Sinai Desert of Sharm

We were met on time by...

We were picked up on time by a very friendly bus driver. We had booked a private quad bike tour and left immediately after the guide arrived. My daughter has never ridden a quad bike by herself, unfortunately she has not received any instruction or explanation. Instead, she was constantly shouted at by our guide in part in Russian. He seemed very aggressive and had no patience at all. I explained to him that it was her first time driving herself and asked him to be a little friendlier. It got better for a short time, but then the whining started again. At Echo Rock I approached other guides and explained to them that our guide is very unfriendly. Unfortunately, hardly anyone spoke English, many only Russian. Finally, a guide who spoke English told his colleague to be friendlier. This guide finally explained to my daughter how to ride the quad bike – after that it worked well. Our guide became a little nicer afterwards, but was constantly on the phone on the way back and didn't even say goodbye in the end. That's a real shame. On the positive side, however, I would like to highlight the very friendly bus driver and the nice staff at the camp. Unfortunately we were very unlucky with our guide, with another it would have been a nice trip.

To flee

It’s a factory, they sell you 20€ the 4 scarves that are worth 2€ each, negotiated at 10€, it advertised 60 min of quad I think we had to do 20 min, we left, made 10 min of quad then 20 minutes of photos to buy for 25€, then 5 minutes again to go drink a tea , as we had chosen the camel option, tea was in fast mode. Then 5-10 minutes to come back. The quad tour is on quad highways where you take all the dust from the other quads, with plenty of bumps so not pleasant. You don't go into the Sinai mountains. It's clearly not charming.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify that this is a desert safari experience, and by nature it involves sand, dust, shared quad routes, and uneven terrain. These are environmental conditions inherent to desert activities and are clearly implied in the tour description. The itinerary includes total activity time, which covers riding time, safety instructions, rest stops, cultural experiences such as Bedouin tea, and optional photography stops. These stops are optional, and no guest is ever required to purchase photos or products. Prices offered by local vendors are not part of the tour and are always subject to personal choice and negotiation. The safari route is designed for safety and accessibility and does not enter restricted mountain areas of Sinai, which is also consistent with the advertised experience. We are sorry that the experience did not meet your personal expectations. We value all feedback and continue to work on clear communication so guests know exactly what to expect before booking. Kind regards, Stepway Tours

It was a fantastic experience! Very exciting from start to finish, and we got to take an incredible number of nice pictures along the way. The desert landscape was absolutely magical, and it was fascinating to drive through the desert. It was fun to drive the quad bike. The guides were friendly. We also got to buy Egyptian juice and soda for a good price. I would really recommend this trip to all tourists visiting Sharm El-Sheikh.
