The sun drops like an ember behind low sandstone ridges as an air-conditioned minibus spills you onto wide, wind-sanded tracks. Engines cough to life and the quads carve swirls across ochre flats while the Red Sea breeze still tugs at your shirt. Later, a gentle caravan of camels carries you toward a horizon that goes dark and very full of stars.

Hydration is critical
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water per person and sip frequently—the desert air is dry and can dehydrate you fast.
Protect from the sun
A wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and UV sunglasses will make the quad portion far more comfortable.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes are best for mounting/dismounting camels and riding quads over uneven sand and rock.
Follow the guide on quads
