Review of Hurghada’s $21 desert safari with ATV riding, camel trek, Bedouin dinner, sunset views, and traditional entertainment.
“If I were to do this again, I'd skip the knackered quadbikes and barely functioning dune buggies in a dusty "field" and head straight out to the desert for the bedouin experience - which was fantastic.
