Double Quad Bike – Sharm el Sheikh

This Double Quad Bike ride is interesting because you get speed and scenery at the same time, then you slow down at a Bedouin camp where daily life is part of the experience. You’ll drive out from Sharm into the Sinai Desert for big views, then return after a short but satisfying cultural stop.

I love the hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, because it makes this feel easy, not like a half-day scramble. I also like that you get Bedouin tea during the camp break, plus an option to ride a camel, so it is not only about driving the quad.

One possible drawback is that you’ll want to plan for extra costs on the day, including $5 local government taxes per person, and you should bring sunglasses and a scarf (or buy one at the quad center).

Key Points to Know Before You Go

• Double quad format means you can ride together, so the experience can feel more relaxed than switching drivers constantly.
• 3 hours total keeps things exciting without eating your whole day.
• Small group size (max 10) helps the flow at the quad centre and on the road.
• Short desert drive plus photo stops gives you time to enjoy views without feeling rushed.
• Bedouin camp break includes tea, with an optional short camel ride.
• Weather matters since the activity requires good conditions, and you’ll be offered an alternative date or a refund if it gets canceled.

Why a Double Quad in Sharm Works So Well in Real Life

This is the kind of tour that fits vacation schedules. You get that desert-adrenaline feeling, but the whole plan is capped at around 3 hours, so you are not stuck committing your entire day to dust and handlebars.

The Double Quad setup is also smart. It gives you a more social rhythm to the adventure, especially for couples or families who want to ride together and share the same moment of the desert views. You will still get a chance to learn the quad basics before you head out, so it is not just hands-on chaos.

Getting There: Pickup, Transfers, and How the Day Starts

Your tour includes transfers to and from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. In practice, this is one of the best parts because you do not waste time figuring out where the quad centre is. You’ll be taken to the office area first, then guided to the quad setup.

In real day timing, transfers can be pretty quick. One family reported the transfer took around 10 to 15 minutes, and another group said it was about 20 minutes to reach the safari area. That matters because your first real excitement should start fast, not after a long wait in the heat.

You’ll also get a mobile ticket, so it is designed to keep things simple on arrival. If you have questions ahead of time, you can ask through WhatsApp, and one person specifically mentioned quick help from Samantha before pickup.

Safety Briefing and Helmet Rules You Actually Follow

You get a helmet and a safety explanation before you ride. That is not just a legal checkbox. It makes a big difference when the terrain changes and when everyone is trying to match pace.

This is especially relevant if your group includes mixed ages or different comfort levels. The tour is described as suitable for all ages and fitness levels, which suggests the plan is built for variety. Still, you should listen carefully to the instructions, because how you handle the quad will decide whether this feels thrilling or stressful.

The Sinai Desert Ride: 30 to 45 Minutes of Views and Stops

The heart of the outing is the drive into the desert. You’ll head out for about 30 to 45 minutes before you reach the Bedouin camp. This stretch is where the quad feels most alive, with views of the Desert Mountains and the open terrain.

There are also a couple of picture opportunities along the way. That’s a small detail, but it changes the feel of the tour. You get the chance to stop and breathe, not just keep moving until you are too tired to enjoy photos.

One note to set expectations: if you are in a larger group, the ride can be paced more calmly. A common theme was that the riding was at a lower speed in some situations, likely to keep things smooth for everyone in the group. If you want maximum speed all the time, this may not feel like a full thrill-ride every second.

Bedouin Camp Break: Tea, Optional Camel Ride, and Shade

After the desert drive, you arrive at a traditional Bedouin camp. This is where the tour turns from motion into a short cultural pause.

You’ll be served Bedouin tea, and the camp stop includes a chance to ride a camel if you want to. The camel ride is not described as compulsory, so treat it as an option when you arrive. Even if you skip it, the break gives you a chance to rest, take photos around the camp area, and cool down.

You’ll also have the option to buy soft drinks at the village for £2 or 40 LE. That is nice because it means you can top up without leaving the experience entirely. You are also offered a refreshing drink during the stop.

Time here is typically short, but it is meaningful. This is what makes the tour feel more than a quad lesson. You get a look at camp life and a human-scale moment, instead of turning your desert time into just a drive-through.

What to Bring, What to Buy, and Day-of Costs

This tour asks for a few basics. Bring sunglasses and a scarf. A scarf helps with dust and sun, and it can make the riding part more comfortable.

If you do not have one, you can purchase it at the quad centre office for £3. That is helpful because it means you do not have to ruin your day by forgetting the one item you needed most.

Also, budget for the day-of fee that is not included: $5 local government taxes per person, payable on the day. And if you end up wanting extras like drinks at the camp, those are separate too.

Here is how I think about value. The listed price is $13.78 per person, and it includes hotel transfers, a helmet, the safety explanation, and Bedouin tea. That already covers the biggest logistical costs and the core experience. The trade-off is that the tax fee and any optional purchases will still come up when you’re there.

Small Group Energy and the Feel of Falcon Adventure

Your group size is capped at 10 travelers, which matters more than it sounds. It often means fewer delays when everyone lines up for the quad briefing or when you pull over for photo stops.

The provider is falconadventure, and the overall vibe from the way the trip is described is practical and friendly. People highlighted how quickly they were on the quads after pickup, and how supportive staff were with kids and families. If you are traveling with younger riders, that kind of guidance can be the difference between everyone having fun and you playing traffic controller the whole time.

One travel-time reality check: one person did report a pickup that was about 15 minutes late. That is not the norm you want, but it is a good reminder to stay calm if something feels slightly off. If you are working around dinner plans, build in buffer time.

Who This Tour Is Best For (and Who Should Consider Alternatives)

This works best if you want a mixed experience: driving in open desert terrain plus a camp stop with tea and an optional camel ride. It is also a good fit if you want something that is easy logistically, because pickup and transfers are included.

It is described as suitable for all ages and fitness levels, which suggests it is not built for hardcore sport riding. If you are expecting technical quad skills or a long multi-hour trek, you might find the format too short or too structured. But if you want a clean, vacation-friendly adventure that still feels authentic, it is a strong match.

This is also a great choice for families who want one planned activity that can handle different energy levels. One family said kids and parents all enjoyed it, largely because the staff treated everyone well and the schedule was straightforward.

Should You Book This Double Quad Bike Safari in Sharm el Sheikh?

I’d book it if you want an adrenaline burst without losing half your day, and you like the idea of ending with a simple Bedouin camp break rather than returning to your hotel straight off the desert track. The combination of desert riding, photo stops, tea, and an optional camel ride gives you more variety for the time you spend.

I would think twice only if you are sensitive about day-of timing, want maximum speed the entire ride, or you do not want to plan for the extra $5 tax plus scarf and drink costs. If that stuff sounds fine, this is a very solid value way to experience Sinai desert life on quad tires.
