Stop by stop
Detailed itinerary
- 1
A driver collects you from your hotel in Naama Bay, Sharks Bay, Nabq, Hadaba or the Old Market. You choose a morning, afternoon or sunset departure when you book, and our team confirms the exact time. The drive to the safari base takes about 30 minutes.
- 2
At the base you get a helmet and a short safety briefing on the controls and hand signals. Everyone then rides a practice lap on flat ground, so the guides can see who is comfortable. A scarf and goggles are sold here if you want them against dust.
- 3
You ride in convoy behind a guide through dry valleys and across gravel, then stop at Echo Valley. The rock walls throw back a shout, so the guide lets the group try it. Each rider has a bike, or two can share one on request. The guide sets the pace.
- 4
After the quad ride there is a short camel ride, led by a handler, and then a seat for sweet Bedouin tea, with bottled water as well. This is a good moment for photos. In the sunset departure the light turns orange, and the air cools quickly.
- 5
The convoy rides back to the base by the same kind of route. Hand back your helmet when you arrive. If you are on an early departure the sun is already warm, so drink some water. Dust is normal, and a scarf over your face helps.
- 6
The minibus returns you to your hotel, about three hours after the pickup. The exact time depends on how many hotels are on the route. After the dust and the bumps, most guests head straight for a shower and a cold drink.
