Overview
Soma Bay Desert Safari Excursion
The Desert Safari Adventure from Soma Bay is a 3-hour half-day excursion that departs from your Soma Bay hotel and heads into the surrounding desert for a quad biking ride and a stop at a Bedouin village. It is the only motorized desert tour in Soma Bay that pairs quad biking with a Bedouin village visit and a BBQ dinner under the stars.
Pickup from your Soma Bay hotel happens in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, which drives you into the desert to begin the quad biking ride across the dunes and rocky trails of the Soma Bay hinterland. From there, your guide leads you to a Bedouin village for a tour of local customs, followed by a BBQ dinner and Bedouin tea service before the same vehicle returns you to your hotel in Soma Bay. If you are looking for different ways to explore Egypt during your stay, browse our Egypt Day trips for more destinations and experiences.
No other half-day excursion from Soma Bay combines quad biking, a Bedouin village visit, and a BBQ dinner in the desert in one outing. For more ways to fill your time at the resort, discover Soma Bay day tours.
