Welcome to Sharm El Sheikh — Egypt’s most vibrant resort town where the desert meets the sea, and adventure meets serenity. If you’re seeking a one-of-a-kind experience, the Buggy Bike Sharm El Sheikh tour is your perfect escape. This half-day desert excursion takes you deep into the Sinai sands for a mix of action, tradition, and cultural immersion.
From the adrenaline-fueled rush of racing across golden dunes on a buggy bike to the peaceful sway of a camel ride through Bedouin trails, followed by a delicious Bedouin dinner and a captivating folkloric show — this is more than a tour. It’s a journey into the very soul of Egypt’s desert culture.
Whether you’re a solo traveler, honeymoon couple, family, or thrill-seeking group, this experience brings together nature, history, cuisine, and performance in one unforgettable evening.
The tour begins in the late afternoon when the desert sun starts its slow descent, casting soft golden tones across the mountains and dunes. After hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, you’re taken to the desert activity base — a secure facility at the edge of the Red Sea mountain range.
Once there, local guides introduce you to the buggy bikes — powerful, four-wheeled off-road vehicles designed to navigate tough desert terrain. They’re safer and easier to control than regular motorbikes, making them ideal even for beginners. After a safety briefing, helmet fitting, and a short test drive, you’ll set off across the endless dunes.
Panoramic Desert Views: As you ride, the desert unfolds around you with vast open plains, rocky outcrops, and dramatic ridges.
Photo Stops: The guide pauses at strategic spots where you can capture breathtaking sunset photos.
Desert Wildlife: Look out for desert fox tracks, camel herds, and the occasional hawk overhead.
Freedom to Explore: You’ll be driving in a guided convoy but with enough space to enjoy the thrill of acceleration.
You’ll spend about 45–60 minutes racing across the sands — a perfect balance between thrill and scenery. If you’re traveling with friends or a partner, you can ride double and take turns driving.

After the excitement of the buggy ride, the tempo shifts dramatically — it’s time for the timeless charm of a camel ride. These gentle giants have been desert companions for centuries, and riding one is like stepping back into ancient Bedouin life.
You’ll be introduced to your camel by a friendly local guide, often a member of a Bedouin family. Don’t worry if you’re a first-time rider — the camels are trained, calm, and accustomed to tourists. Mounting is easy with the help of your guide, and once you’re seated, the camel rises slowly and begins the journey.
Scenic Route: You’ll follow traditional Bedouin trails used by nomads for centuries.
Cultural Insights: Your guide may share stories about Bedouin traditions, desert survival, and camel care.
Sunset Magic: If timed right, the sun will be setting behind the mountains — a perfect backdrop for silhouette photos.
The camel ride lasts about 25–30 minutes, providing a peaceful and rhythmic contrast to the earlier desert speed rush. It’s also one of the most photo-worthy moments of the trip — bring your phone or camera fully charged.
As the evening settles in, you arrive at a traditional Bedouin camp — a semi-permanent setup of tents, cushions, carpets, and low tables. Lanterns light the space, creating an inviting and warm atmosphere. You’re welcomed with tea and ushered to your table as the aroma of fresh grilled food fills the air.
Main Dishes: Grilled chicken, beef kofta, or lamb skewers.
Sides: Spiced rice, tahini salad, baba ghanoush, pickled vegetables.
Bread: Hot Bedouin “aish” baked in clay ovens on-site.
Drinks: Karkadeh (hibiscus tea), mint tea, or soda.
Desserts: Dates, honey-drizzled pastries.
Vegetarian options are available, and dietary restrictions can usually be accommodated if mentioned in advance.
Live Cooking: Watch how bread is baked over open flames.
Seating: Traditional low seating on cushions under a canopy of stars.
Atmosphere: Peaceful, serene, and uniquely quiet — away from city lights and noise.
This isn’t just about food. It’s an introduction to Bedouin hospitality — warm, sincere, and deeply rooted in tradition.
After dinner, it’s time to lean back and enjoy the folkloric entertainment that Bedouin culture is known for. The show kicks off with a Tanoura dancer — a male performer in a bright multi-colored skirt that spins continuously to Sufi music, symbolizing spiritual connection.
Next comes the belly dancer, whose graceful, rhythmic movements are a blend of ancient and modern Middle Eastern styles. Her dance often includes audience participation, especially for kids and couples.
The finale? A thrilling fire show that combines fire spinning, breathing, and juggling — lighting up the night sky and drawing gasps from the crowd.
Authentic Performances: Many performers are local artists trained in traditional styles.
Interactive Moments: Volunteers are often invited to dance, pose, or try spinning the Tanoura skirt.
Immersive Ambience: The desert’s natural darkness makes the lights and flames even more magical.
It’s the perfect ending to a day of diverse experiences — from wild to tranquil, and from flavorful to visually spectacular.
