Ride Dubai’s red dunes by ATV, then enjoy camels, BBQ, shows, and stargazing at Al Khayma Camp for $88.

“ATV was fun, although I’d like to play with it a bit more. The whole experience is unnecessarily long. With cheap attractions for the second half of the tour - I would’ve much rather be at my hotel quicker. During our tour, the guide kept asking the only woman in the group to pose for photos - I’ll leave you to make up your mind about that but for me - it made the whole experience even longer as we had to wait for them.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 203 reviews · from $41

Ride horses through Hurghada’s desert, watch sunset, eat BBQ, and study stars through a telescope for $41 with hotel transfers.

“It was a great experience and worth the money. The jeep trip is very extreme so prepare yourself. For me as a man it was ok. For my wife it was very scary. They drive with + 100 kmh in the desert. You have to sit in the back without seatbelts. For me it was cool but very dangerous. The stars part was very beatiful and the guide Adam was amazing. The horse ride was also very cool, but prepare yourself for the sun in the desert. Its more hot than in your resort.”
