How to Plan Your Desert Safari in Hurghada?

When planning your Desert Safari in Hurghada, you would need to choose the perfect tour in Hurghada according to your interests, which may include dune bashing in a 4x4 or camel riding, quad biking, or immersion in Bedouin culture, such as the traditional dinner and entertainment. Booking in advance is recommended, particularly in peak season, and, of course, choosing the right time to visit—namely, an evening tour for sunset. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and appropriate clothing, as well as a camera to capture the beauty of the deserts. The guide would provide everything you need to know for safety purposes, and most importantly, discover and have fun enjoying all the beautiful landscapes, thrilling activities, and cultural experience the desert has to offer.

How should I prepare for this desert safari in Hurghada?

1. Clothing-light and Breathable
Daytime in the desert gets so hot; hence, you'll need to wear lightweight, loose clothes made from natural fabrics, such as cotton or linen, which absorb sweat and keep your skin cool, while also preventing sunburn. Wear long sleeves and pants for sun protection and possible irritants like sand.
2. Comfortable Footwear
Put on comfortable, closed shoes such as sneakers or sturdy sandals, designed for walking over sand. No flip-flops since they are not meant for tough terrain when walking in the desert or perhaps when riding a camel.
3. Hats and Sunglasses
Use a cap with a wide brim or a hat to cover the face from sunlight, and ensure sunglasses always are there to protect the eye from the glaring sun and dust formed in the air. Always choose UV-protected eyeglasses, even for the best eye care.
4. Sunscreen
Actually, this is not applicable as wearing sunscreen; just make sure that your skin has a good sunscreen with high SPF that protects it from severe sunshine in the desert, especially in easily made contact areas like the face, neck, and arms.
5. A Light Jacket or Sweater
Forecasts have been very cool in a hot desert temperature during the night. So it's better to have a light jacket or sweater you can throw over to cover your body while on safari during the chilly night. 
6. Scarf or Bandana (Optional)
It's something that can be used to protect your face and neck from all the dust and wind while riding, especially if your excursion involves dune bashing or quad biking.

Activities in Desert Safari in Hurghada

Dune bashing
Among the most thrilling things in a desert safari is dune bashing in a 4x4 car. Drive through the sand dunes, bringing a huge pull from top to bottom of the steep dune. This activity will be worthwhile for thrill-seekers but will not disappoint even the ones who just sit back and watch.
Camel Riding
There you will take a camel ride, which is usually called the "ship of the desert." It is unique and peaceful to observe the great desert landscapes and is usually one of the traditional activities on such tours.
Quad Biking
There's nothing like quad biking through the desert when it comes to hardcore action. Riding an ATV (all-terrain vehicle), you speed across sandy terrains, racing through dunes and taking in the beauty of the vast open desert.
Sandboarding
For extra adventure, try sandboarding the golden dunes. Much like snowboarding, except on sand, this is one of the most unique and entertaining ways to enjoy the wild expanse that the desert has to offer.
Visiting a Bedouin Village
A visit to one of these villages is generally included in most Desert Safari tours, and here you will learn about the traditional lifestyles of the Bedouins, their culture, and way of life, and enjoy the welcome hearty local tea, all while seeing how well adapted they are to life in the desert.
Traditional Bedouin Dinner
A wonderful experience after spending time at desert activities is a traditional Bedouin-style dinner under the stars. You usually find dishes like local grilled meats, rice, bread, salads, and drinks too.
Star gazing
The desert boasts some of the clearest, most unpolluted skies in the world, making it the finest place to spend time watching the stars. After dinner, one should relax: looking upwards to that beautiful night sky, without doubt, it is absolutely fantastic. 
Photography
There are countless photographs of incredible scenery in the desert, from its great golden sand dunes to glowing colors at sunset and sunrise. Capture the incredible landscapes, your camel ride, and the traditional Bedouin lifestyle so you could remember this adventure forever. 
Live Entertainment 
Many of the Desert Safari tours feature shows that include traditional performances such as belly dancing or tanoura dancing (kind of a whirling dervish sort of dance) or shows of folklore. This makes for that extra dimension in the cultural experience. 
Relax and take in the scenery 
Finally, spare some time to sit back in the desert with all its beautiful quiet. Whether one views the sunset over the dunes or even sits in the comforts of a Bedouin tent with its warm drink, it is a lot quieter than the daily hustle and bustle.

A desert safari experience for excitement in amazing landscapes and rich cultural experiences, which includes thrilling activities like dune bashing or quad biking, along with peaceful camel rides or Bedouin traditions, is available in Hurghada. Desert sand does not leave anyone behind. Beautiful views with scrumptious food and entertaining activities make it escape into the core of Egypt's natural beauty. Thus, pack your adventurous spirit to be a part of an excursion that is unique among the tours in Egypt and will provide experiences you will remember for a lifetime!
