Sharm El Sheikh Desert Experience
Bedouin Safari and Star Gazing Tour with Camel Ride in Sharm El Sheikh
Ride into the desert, dine under the stars, and connect with authentic Bedouin traditions.
The Sharm El Sheikh Bedouin Safari takes you beyond the resort strip and into the quiet expanse of the Sinai Desert, where ancient hospitality traditions and a sky full of stars await. This five-hour guided experience blends a camel ride, traditional cooking, and a candlelit desert dinner into a single evening you are unlikely to forget.
Guided by local Bedouin hosts, the journey begins with a camel ride through the open desert, giving you a firsthand look at the landscape and way of life that has shaped this region for centuries. The pace is relaxed, the terrain is accessible, and the scenery shifts gradually from the edge of town to true wilderness.
Once at the Bedouin tent, guests are welcomed with herbed tea and invited to try their hand at traditional bread making before a buffet dinner is served by candlelight. A fire show adds atmosphere to the evening, while the clear desert sky overhead provides a natural spectacle that no city can replicate.

Enjoy a traditional Bedouin welcome with herbed tea known as Habak upon arrival at the tent.
