Sharm El Sheikh Super Safari 5*1 ATV Quad, Stargazing,Camel Ride,Dinner, Shows
Book on Viator →Operated by High Quality Tours Egypt · Bookable on Viator
Quad lights and stars in the Sinai. This sunset safari strings together quad biking through flat desert sand, a camel stop, a Bedouin dinner with live entertainment, and then telescope stargazing guided by an English-speaking astronomer. My only heads-up: the camel ride can be brief, so treat it like a photo moment, not a long ride.
What makes this one feel worth your time is the pacing. You get a real warm-up lesson for the ATV, then you move through the evening until the night sky takes over, with hotel pickup and return in an air-conditioned vehicle.
At around $49.99 per person, the value is strong because the price folds in the big-ticket items: ATV time, BBQ-style Bedouin dinner, shows, and telescope viewing. Just plan for a couple of common cash extras on the day, like the $1 national park ticket per person.

Quick hits: what’s genuinely good about this super safari
1 ATV Quad, Stargazing,Camel Ride,Dinner, Shows – Quick hits: what’s genuinely good about this super safari’ />
- ATV instruction first, then you ride: you start on flat sand to get confidence before the more scenic parts
- Bedouin camp dinner plus tea: Habbak tea before sunset, then a buffet-style BBQ dinner
- Live desert entertainment: fire-eating, folklore dance, and Tannoura
- Telescope stargazing with an astronomer: expect explanations for the moon, Saturn, constellations, and sometimes Mars
- A few small pay-on-arrival extras: $1 national park ticket, plus optional scarf/ATV goggles/photos
- Group size is usually kept small: listed maximum is 15, but busy dates can feel crowded for stargazing
The basic flow: how you go from hotel comfort to real night skies
The sunset hill: where the views are the payoff
$49.99 per person is the entry point, and the reason this looks good value is the bundle. You’re not just paying for one thing. You’re getting:
- ATV quad ride with helmet and instruction
- camel ride (optional for free)
- welcome tea
- buffet dinner
- live entertainment shows
- telescope stargazing with an explanation
- round-trip hotel transfers in an air-conditioned vehicle
Add up what those might cost separately, and the safari feels like a practical deal.
Now, the honest part: there are pay-on-arrival extras. The tour notes a $1 per person government national park ticket, paid cash on the spot. It also lists optional items like scarf, ATV goggles, and photos that are not included.
One more detail from real-world experiences: some people mention paying small amounts for a scarf or needing sunglasses. And if you’re offered extra activities like shisha pipes for a fee, it’s optional—decide based on your comfort and budget.
My advice: bring a little cash, and keep your spending choices clear. Don’t let surprise add-ons steamroll the day.
Safety, comfort, and the small frustrations to plan around
This safari can feel smooth when everything clicks, and one reason is the structure: instruction for the ATV, helmets provided, and staff operating a timed sequence of events.
Still, desert tours are always a bit “live.” Here are the considerations that matter most:
- Helmet use and instructions: if you’re unsure, ask questions early and wear the helmet
- Dust management: sunglasses help; consider a scarf for your face if you’re dust-sensitive
- Photo culture: some camp stops involve people offering photos or taking pictures. Keep your phone with you if you’re using your own device, and ask what costs money before you agree
- Camel expectations: it’s usually short, so don’t plan your day around a long ride
On the positive side, guides can make the experience. One guide named Youssef was specifically praised for being wonderful and helpful, and that kind of attitude makes a difference when you’re in a group and moving from stop to stop.
Who should book this safari (and who should skip it)
This experience is a strong fit if you want a one-stop desert evening with variety: ATV excitement, Bedouin camp atmosphere, and telescope stargazing.
It’s especially good for:
- couples who want a mix of action and calmer night-sky time
- families with kids who can handle staged activities
- first-time visitors who want a “Sharm-style” desert outing without complicated planning
You might rethink it if:
- you expect a long camel ride
- you hate crowds and want lots of elbow room for stargazing
- you’re very sensitive to timing and want guaranteed perfect pickup without waiting
Should you book the Sharm El Sheikh Super Safari ATV quad + stargazing?
If you want value and variety, I think this is a solid choice. The price covers the main ingredients—ATV ride, Bedouin dinner with shows, and telescope stargazing—and the evening structure makes it easy to enjoy without doing extra research or chasing transport.
If your priority is the camel ride or you’re picky about being in a small group, temper expectations. And if stargazing is your #1 goal, pick your date thoughtfully and be ready to share telescope time on busier nights.
Overall, this is the kind of tour that works best when you lean into it: dress for desert dust, bring small cash for the $1 national park ticket, and go with a flexible, curious mindset for both the desert entertainment and the night sky.
