Those boys are great! Good and careful with guests, full of informations about trip. My fav is Falcon, the guy which selling trips at Movenpick Resort El Gouna, great leading in desert stone & dust. So I've been by quad in desert two times, two different routes. :) And I'll be back in October for sure. All the guys are good professionals.

Nice experience, but that is all. We were also told that we will have free drinks and we did get only a small cup of some green drink that tasted badly. If you want to go, get your own stuff and don't expect nothing from them. Just enjoy the view.

If you need a real desert safari experience and not the highly touristy and unimpressive "safaris" organized near Hurghada look no further. My family said this is the best part of their experience in Egypt and the superior customer experience is unlike anything else. We were shown the real desert and nature in a luxury 4x4 and our guide did show us incredible things in the desert.The dinner was most delicious .I learned a lot about the desert from this tour and feel extremely satisfied.Treated like a king.

Part of the Giftun Island chain this is a great spot to get off the boat and just lounge on the beach, have a drink (pricey) but it was worth it. They have shaded seating and seating in the water. They are building and it will be even better when it is done.
