Beyond the Beach – Egypt’s Desert Awaits
Most visitors come to Hurghada for the Red Sea — but just a few kilometres from the resort strip, an entirely different world begins. The vast Eastern Desert stretches west from the coast, a dramatic landscape of golden sand dunes, rugged rocky mountains, ancient wadis, and centuries-old Bedouin trails.
A desert safari from Hurghada is one of the most memorable ways to experience Egypt beyond its beaches and ancient temples — and The Pure Coastal offers the best adventure packages to get you there.
Quad Biking in the Egyptian Desert
The most exhilarating way to explore the desert is on a quad bike. Ride through open sandy terrain, navigate rocky tracks, and power up desert ridges with panoramic views of the Red Sea shimmering in the distance.
Our quad bike safaris are suitable for all experience levels — guides brief you on safe riding technique before you head out. Sessions run 1–2 hours and cover a variety of desert terrain. Sunset quad rides are particularly spectacular.
Prices from $35–$50 per person.
Jeep Safari to the Colored Canyon
For those who prefer four wheels under a roof, our Jeep Safari to the Colored Canyon takes you deep into the Sinai Desert to a stunning natural rock formation where layers of sediment create walls of pink, yellow, and white stripes. It’s one of the most photogenic spots in Egypt and a world away from the beach.
Price from $55 per person.
Camel Ride at Sunset
No desert experience is complete without a camel ride. Our Sunset Camel Ride & Bedouin Dinner takes you gently through the desert as the sun drops below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of amber and gold. It’s romantic, peaceful, and completely authentic.
Price from $45 per person.
Traditional Bedouin Dinner Under the Stars
After your safari, gather around a campfire in the open desert for a traditional Bedouin dinner. Enjoy freshly prepared Egyptian food — grilled meats, flatbreads, hummus, and sweet tea — under a sky packed with stars. Far from the city lights, the desert night sky in Egypt is extraordinary.
Many of our safari packages include the Bedouin dinner experience. Our Desert Safari with Quad, Camel & Dinner package combines all three for $55 per person — outstanding value for a full evening of adventure.
Star Gazing in the Eastern Desert
Hurghada’s desert is one of the best stargazing locations in the Middle East. Clear skies, low humidity, and minimal light pollution create ideal conditions for observing the Milky Way with the naked eye. Our Star Gazing & Bedouin Dinner tours run after dark and include a guide who identifies key constellations of the Egyptian night sky.
Tips for Your Desert Safari
- Wear closed shoes — sandals are not suitable for quad biking
- Bring a light jacket — desert nights can be surprisingly cool even in summer
- Apply sunscreen — the desert sun is intense in the afternoon
- Book in advance — sunset tours fill up quickly, especially in peak season
