5 in 1 Safari Quad, Camel, Show, Dinner & Stargazing in Sharm

Quads, camels, and real desert stars.

I love how this quad biking tour runs through the night as well as the day, so you get both sunset energy and darker-sky views. I also love that the stargazing isn’t just a quick look: you get a guide pointing out constellations like Orion’s Belt and the Polar Star, plus telescopes. The one thing to factor in is that the riding area can feel crowded, so you may deal with noise and fumes if lots of other groups are out.

The guides can make it. Zizo leads the astronomy part in a way that helps you actually find what you’re seeing, and the atmosphere around the Bedouin settlement feels welcoming (names like Coconut and Omar pop up in the reviews, often credited for the fun vibe). The camel stop also gives the evening a different pace—short, memorable, and very “Egypt in one night.”

Just be ready for desert reality: it’s dusty, it’s outdoors, and the quads are sometimes described as a bit worn. If night driving makes you nervous, bring your patience (and plan to ride with the group and follow instructions closely).

Quick hits you should know

• 5-in-1 evening: quads + camel + Bedouin show + dinner + telescope stargazing
• Stargazing lesson you can use with real constellation targets (Orion’s Belt, Polar Star, Ursa Major/Minor)
• Vegetarian dinner option and soft drinks/coffee/tea included during the meal stop
• Night quad riding is part of the experience, so lights and safe spacing matter
• Dusty riding means plan for clothes that can get dirty
• Max group size of 30 keeps it from turning into total chaos (though the wider quad area can be busy)

What this tour is, in plain terms

This is an outdoor, action-heavy night plan in Sharm el Sheikh that combines adrenaline with culture and astronomy. You’ll start with quad biking at a desert center outside town, take a short camel ride with Bedouins, then move into a bigger tent for an oriental show and dinner. After that, you’ll head into the dark desert for stargazing with telescopes.

The big idea here is value. For roughly $50 per person, you’re not just buying one activity—you’re stringing together several parts that are usually sold separately: motorized desert time, a cultural settlement experience, and guided night-sky viewing.

And since it’s about 5 hours total, it’s also a practical fit for vacation schedules. You can pack this into an afternoon/evening without giving up a full day.

Price and what you’re really paying for

At $50 per person, this tour is priced like a budget-friendly “big night” rather than a premium private experience. The good news is that it covers a lot of the moving pieces: quad bike, camel ride, dinner (with a vegetarian option), and telescopes for stargazing. You also get bottled water during the dinner time, plus coffee/tea and soft drinks.

What’s not included matters too. There can be a governmental national park fee that you handle separately. If you like having everything settled in advance, ask about that during booking so there are no surprises when you arrive.

If you’re deciding between doing one thing (like only quads) versus the full package, I think this format makes sense. The astronomy portion alone is typically the kind of add-on you’d pay extra for elsewhere, and here it’s built in.

Pickup timing in Sharm: plan for an afternoon start

The day starts with pickup. One schedule shows hotel pickup at about 3:00 pm, then a short drive to the quads center before you get going. Elsewhere, the start time is listed around 4:30 pm, which likely reflects when the main activity really begins at the meeting point.

Either way, think of this as an afternoon-to-evening outing. You’re leaving Sharm before prime sunset, so you can ride during daylight and then continue when it’s darker. That’s exactly what makes the stargazing worthwhile—your guide can’t teach constellations well if you’re still in street lights.

Pickup is flexible, with options like hotel and even airport-listed meeting flexibility. You’ll also get a mobile ticket, and confirmation is received at booking.

Quad biking: the highlight that sets the tone

Quad biking is the headline, and it’s not a tiny taste. You get instructions first—there’s a moment to get set up with guidance, plus basic safety and what to do for riding together. You’ll also be helped with scarf folding before getting on the bikes, so the whole thing starts with that “desert experience” feeling.

Then you ride. Based on the flow, expect an initial short ride segment after the camel stop and another riding segment before you reach the tent area. Night riding is part of the show later in the evening, and that’s where expectations need to match reality.

What I like about this setup: you’re not just on the quad and off. The tour builds in breaks and transitions so the evening doesn’t feel like one long noise-fest. It’s also built for beginners—most people can participate, and the guides are there to keep groups together.

One caution, though: reviews include mixed safety observations. Some people felt everything was well managed and safe with guides keeping riders organized. Others described quads lacking lights or brake lights and even witnessed minor accidents. You can’t control the equipment quality from afar, but you can control your behavior—ride slow when lights are weaker, keep extra distance, and don’t get stuck between bikes if spacing gets tight.

Camel ride with Bedouins: short, sweet, and a little bumpy

The camel portion is brief—about 15 minutes—but it’s more than a photo stop. You ride with the help of Bedouins, and it’s framed as a special experience, not a rushed transfer.

The camel segment is also a tonal reset. After engine time, you get a slower pace and a chance to watch how the settlement feels. In reviews, people often say the ride is interesting even if it’s a bit uncomfortable at first. If you’ve never ridden a camel, treat it like a new motion pattern. You’ll do better if you relax your grip and keep your balance steady.

I also like that the camel experience is paired right after the desert drive—so you’re already in the right mood and setting before the entertainment starts.

Bedouin tent dinner and oriental show: culture plus a meal

After your riding, you head to a larger tent area. This is where the oriental show happens, and it’s also dinner time. The meal is described as fresh and delicious by many, with one vegetarian option available for dietary needs. You’ll also get tea/coffee and soft drinks during this stage.

A couple points to set expectations. First, this isn’t a fine-dining restaurant. It’s a Bedouin settlement meal experience. One review calls the dinner “spartan,” which tells me you should expect simple food rather than a huge gourmet spread.

Second, the tent stop is where you get the most traditional “Egypt evening” feel. You’ll see entertainment, and you’ll get that sense of shared time around the performance. If you enjoy cultural shows that are part of a larger activity (rather than a standalone ticket), this format works well.

If you’re sensitive to sales tactics, you’ll be glad to know multiple reviews mention the team isn’t pushy about extra selling. Still, always stay alert to anyone trying to sell something aggressively right at the start. One review specifically warns about older scammers in the team, so use normal travel caution.

Stargazing with telescopes: learning Orion, not just looking up

This is where the tour becomes more than fun. Before you head back, your guide takes you into the dark desert and explains what you’re seeing. The guide points out Orion’s Belt, the Polar Star, and the Ursa Minor and Ursa Major patterns. You’ll get information about stars, planets, and the moon—so the sky feels like something you can understand, not just something you passively photograph.

Two things I really like here:

1. You’re taught how to locate specific targets, especially the North Star/Polar Star idea. That’s the kind of skill that stays with you long after you leave Sharm.
2. You get to use telescopes, which makes a night-sky visit far more rewarding than a quick glance.

If you want to maximize the stargazing, keep your group pace and listen for your guide’s timing cues. It’s easy to lose the constellation when you’re moving around and chatting. When you see Orion’s Belt, take a moment to let your brain connect where it is relative to the rest of the sky.

Dust, worn gear, and that busy quad area issue

Two practical realities come up in the reviews.

First: dust. People mention the riding is dusty, and they recommend wearing clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. That’s not a small detail—if you’re planning to wear light fabrics or you hate getting sandy, you’ll probably feel it by the end. Wear something you can handle, and expect to wipe off sand later.

Second: the quad riding area can be crowded. One review complains that there were hundreds of quads out at once, leading to fumes and noise. The response from the operator notes that it’s one shared area available to many companies. So you should mentally accept that this is a popular night activity, and you might not feel like you’re alone in the desert.

A third caution: quad condition and lighting. One review claims some quads didn’t have lights and break lights, making night riding feel dangerous. Another review says quads had lights and guides ensured safety. That mixed feedback means you should be extra attentive during night riding. If anything feels off—poor lighting, unclear helmet setup, unsafe spacing—raise it immediately with the guide.

What’s included (and what isn’t)

Included:

• Air-conditioned vehicle
• Quad bike
• Camel ride experience
• Dinner (with vegetarian option)
• Bottled water during dinner time
• Coffee and/or tea
• Soda/soft drinks
• The use of telescopes

Not included:

• Admission fee / governmental national park fee

One more tip for budgeting: many people suggest bringing some cash for tipping the kids/guides, even if tipping is not mandatory. If you liked the guide—especially if Zizo’s astronomy teaching makes the sky click for you—having a few small bills can feel good.

Who should book this (and who should skip it)

This tour makes sense if you want an action-filled evening and you enjoy mixing experiences. It’s a great pick for:

• Couples wanting a memorable night that isn’t just a show or just a beach activity
• Families with older kids (one review says suitable for families with kids from around 10+)
• Anyone who likes astronomy but doesn’t want a lecture-only outing—this is practical, with targets and telescopes

It’s less ideal if:

• You dislike noise and fumes from a crowded quad area
• You’re very anxious about night driving
• You have mobility limits that make it hard to handle outdoor riding, desert surfaces, and getting in/out of vehicles repeatedly

Age note: it’s not recommended for kids under 2 years old.

Should you book the 5-in-1 Safari Quad, Camel, Show, Dinner & Stargazing tour?

I’d book this if you want one ticket that combines quad thrills, a Bedouin tent dinner and show, and a real guided look at Orion’s Belt and the Polar Star using telescopes. For the price, the “more than one activity” value is the whole point, and the stargazing component is the part that turns it from fun into memorable.

Hold off—or at least go in with eyes open—if night driving makes you uneasy or if you’re extremely sensitive to dust and noise. Also, if you’re traveling with anyone who can’t handle an outdoors, bumpy ride style, you might be happier choosing a calmer evening option.

If you do book, my best advice is simple: wear dirty-but-comfortable clothes, keep close to your guide during transitions, and ride defensively at night. That’s how you get the best of the stars without letting the desert get under your skin.
