Full Description
The Quad Tour Hurghada combines a longer desert ride with several stops away from the hotel areas. After a safety briefing and short practice ride, you travel around 30 kilometres through the desert around Hurghada with your own private group.
The current programme also includes a Spider Buggy ride, a visit to a Bedouin village, a short camel ride and a terrarium stop. On the afternoon tour, sunset, a BBQ dinner and an evening programme are also included.
You do not need previous quad experience. Before departure, you receive an explanation of how the vehicle works and have time to get used to the throttle, brakes and steering during a short practice ride.

|---|---|---|---|
1–2 people | Private quads | €65 | €32.50 |
3–5 people | Private quads | €50 | €25 |

Itinerary for Your 5-Hour Quad Tour Hurghada
The exact order can change because of season, weather, sunset time and operational conditions.
Some parts of the programme also differ between the morning and afternoon departures.
Hotel Pickup
Depending on your chosen departure, the tour starts at around 08:30 or around 14:00.
You are collected from your hotel and transferred to the safari station.
Your exact pickup time depends on the location of your hotel and is confirmed after booking.
The tour is offered privately for your own group.
Safety Briefing and Practice Ride
Before heading into the desert, the instructor explains how to operate the quad.
The briefing covers the main points, including:
Using the throttle
Braking
Steering
Keeping distance from the quad ahead
Riding on sand and uneven ground
Following hand signals and guide instructions
A short practice ride follows.
These first few minutes are especially useful if you have never ridden a quad before.
If you do not feel confident, tell the instructor straight away.
Do You Need Quad Riding Experience?
No.
The current page describes the tour as suitable for beginners.
You still need to ride carefully and follow the instructor’s directions.
A quad handles differently on sand from a car on a normal road.
When steering, braking or crossing rutted ground, do not try to keep up with more experienced riders if you are not comfortable.
Around 30 km of Quad Riding Through the Desert
After the briefing, the main Quad Tour Hurghada begins.
The current page lists a riding distance of around 30 kilometres.
You travel over open desert tracks and unpaved ground towards the Bedouin village.
The route may include sand, firmer surfaces, small bumps and dusty sections.
The pace depends on the group and the conditions.
A private tour does not mean unlimited speed.
The instructor sets a pace that is suitable for the route and the riders.
Photo Stops Along the Way
Short stops for photos may be included during the ride.
Depending on the route, you may see:
Open desert areas
Rocky sections
Mountains
Dry valleys
Quad tracks in the sand
The exact number of stops depends on the schedule and riding time.
Spider Buggy Ride
The structured itinerary and current inclusions also list a Spider Buggy ride.
This means it forms part of the currently published programme.
The exact duration is not clearly stated on the page.
For that reason, I would not promise a fixed number of minutes.
The team explains on the day how the buggy ride works and who is allowed to drive.
Visit to the Bedouin Village
Another part of the tour is a visit to a Bedouin village.
Here, you take a break from riding and learn more about life in the desert region.
The current page mentions:
Herbal or Bedouin tea
Bread making
Handicrafts
Introduction to local life
The visit takes place as part of an organised safari.
It is best described as a tourist introduction to Bedouin culture rather than an untouched everyday experience.
Bedouin Tea
Tea is served during the village visit.
This gives you time to sit down and rest after the quad ride.
In hot weather, it is also a useful moment to drink and recover before the next part of the tour.
Short Camel Ride
A short camel ride is included in the current programme.
It is not a long camel trek across the desert.
The ride is a brief part of the village visit.
If you do not want to ride, you can skip this activity.
If you have back, hip, knee or balance problems, it may be better not to take part in the camel ride.
Terrarium Stop
The current itinerary also mentions a terrarium stop.
Here, you can learn more about animals associated with the desert region.
The live page does not clearly state which animals will be present on your date.
For that reason, no particular species should be promised.
Sunset on the Afternoon Tour
The afternoon tour includes a stop around sunset.
The exact time changes throughout the year.
In summer, the sun sets much later than in winter.
The programme should therefore be adjusted to the actual sunset time.
A clear sunset view cannot be guaranteed because clouds, dust or other atmospheric conditions may affect visibility.
BBQ Dinner
The afternoon tour includes a BBQ dinner under the current programme.
The meal is served at the Bedouin camp.
The exact selection of dishes may vary.
If you are vegetarian or have other dietary requirements, mention this when booking.
The team can then check what is available.
Folklore Programme
The current inclusions list a folklore show after the BBQ.
Because this detail is not presented consistently across every part of the main description, the exact programme should be confirmed for your date.
I would therefore avoid promising particular dances, performers or individual show elements.
Night Sky on the Afternoon Tour
The main description also mentions the night sky as part of the evening programme.
Away from the bright hotel areas, there is less artificial light.
However, the number of stars you can see depends on:
Moon phase
Clouds
Dust
Humidity
Season
Time
The Milky Way or particular planets such as Jupiter or Saturn should not be guaranteed on every tour.
Morning or Afternoon Tour?
The current page offers two approximate start times:
08:30
14:00
The morning tour may suit you if you want to keep the later part of your day free.
The afternoon tour is the better choice if sunset, BBQ and the evening programme matter most to you.
The evening activities should not automatically be assumed to be included with a morning booking.
Quad Tour Hurghada with Children
Families can also enquire about this tour.
The current page says that younger children may ride with a parent.
This should not be treated as a general safety guarantee.
Whether a child may ride as a passenger depends on the current operator’s rules, the child’s age and height, and the vehicle being used.
Provide the exact age of every child when booking.
The tour team can then confirm which form of participation is allowed.
Child Prices
The current booking system uses:
Adults: 12 years and over
Children 6–11: 50% of the adult price
Children 0–5: free of charge
The price does not automatically mean that every child may drive their own quad.
Driver and passenger rules need to be confirmed separately.
Quad Riding During Pregnancy
A quad safari should not automatically be considered suitable during pregnancy.
The tour uses uneven tracks and bumps cannot be completely avoided.
If you are pregnant, ask your doctor whether this activity is appropriate for you.
Also mention the pregnancy when making your enquiry.
For calmer activity ideas in Hurghada, you can find more information here:
Back, Neck or Joint Problems
A five-hour tour with a longer quad route can be physically demanding.
The movement of the vehicle is felt through the handlebars, seat and footrests.
If you have significant back, neck, hip or joint problems, it may be worth considering a Jeep safari instead.
With a Jeep tour, you do not need to control the vehicle yourself.
Limited Mobility
A quad tour requires enough mobility to get on and off safely and control the vehicle.
You also need to be able to:
Hold the handlebars securely
Use the throttle and brakes
Keep your balance
Ride for several kilometres over uneven ground
If you have limited mobility, mention this before booking.
A Jeep tour may be more suitable.
More information about excursions with limited mobility:
What Should You Wear?
For the Quad Tour Hurghada, we recommend:
Comfortable clothing
Long trousers or trousers covering at least the knees
Closed shoes
Sunglasses
Sun cream
Scarf or keffiyeh
Light jacket in winter
Loose sandals and flip-flops are not practical for quad riding.
Closed shoes give you better support.
Protection from Dust
Quad riding creates much more direct dust exposure than travelling inside a closed vehicle.
A scarf can help cover your mouth and nose.
Sunglasses also protect your eyes from dust and wind.
The current page lists protective goggles as available to hire rather than clearly included in the standard price.
If you need goggles, ask about current availability in advance.
Helmet and Safety Equipment
A suitable helmet should be provided before the ride begins.
It needs to fit properly and remain fastened while riding.
If a helmet is clearly too large or too small, do not simply begin the tour.
Ask the team for another size.
