Private Safari: Quad Bike and Camel Ride on Desert Sunrise Tour

The day begins at 5am, when your private guide collects you from your hotel in Cairo or Giza for the air-conditioned journey to the Sahara Desert. (You might want to ask your hotel to prepare a breakfast box.)

Begin with a quad bike safari. After a short safety briefing and an explanation of the simple controls, don your helmet and goggles and follow your guide across the gently sloping sands in the pre-dawn light. As the sun begins to illuminate the pyramids, you'll stop at the best viewpoints to capture stunning sunrise shots.

After your 1-hour ride is finished, it's time for a more traditional mode of transport – an Arabian camel, known as the ship of the desert. Sat up high, you'll sway through the desert for an hour, discovering the unique motion of this classic Middle Eastern steed, the serene charms of the Sahara, and a wealth of photo opportunities.

You'll return to your hotel in air-conditioned comfort around 9am.
