General Safari FAQs (What You Must Know Before You Go)
What should I wear for a desert safari in Sharm?
Comfort is key. Wear light, breathable clothing (like cotton). In winter (Oct-Mar), bring a jacket or hoodie as the desert gets surprisingly cold after sunset. Closed shoes (like sneakers) are mandatory for quad biking. Don’t forget sunglasses, a scarf (for the dust), and sunscreen.
Is a desert safari safe for families and children?
Yes, but you must choose the right tour. A high-speed quad bike is not for a 5-year-old. Our Family Desert Safari by Car (Tour 4) and Kids Adventure (Tour 5) are specifically designed for maximum safety and are suitable for all ages. We provide all safety equipment.
What’s the best time of day: Morning or Sunset?
- Morning Safari: Great for seeing the desert in bright light. It’s often quieter and less crowded.
- Sunset Safari: By far the most popular. The lighting for photos is magical (“golden hour”), the temperatures are cooler, and it often combines with a dinner or stargazing show.
Our Recommendation: Choose the sunset tour. It’s a more complete and magical experience.
Do I need a license to drive a quad bike?
No. You do not need any special license or prior experience. Our guides will give you a full safety briefing and a test drive before you go. All quad bikes are fully automatic and easy to handle.
So, Which Safari Will You Choose?
Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, a family with kids, or a couple seeking a romantic dinner under the stars, there is a perfect desert safari waiting for you.
But if you want the one tour that combines the best of everything? The PyraSafari Pyramid Adventure is the most unique and unforgettable experience in all of Sharm El Sheikh.
