Soma Bay is a coastal paradise with five-star resorts, stunning coral reefs, and endless relaxation. But if you want to add excitement and exploration to your beach holiday, desert safaris are a must. Just beyond the golden coastline, Soma Bay offers access to one of Egypt’s most dramatic and historic deserts — perfect for all kinds of adventurous tours.
From high-speed rides to cultural encounters, here are the top safari experiences to try while staying in Soma Bay.
1. Quad Biking Safari
For adrenaline lovers, nothing beats the thrill of zooming across the open desert on a quad bike. These four-wheeled vehicles are easy to handle, even for beginners, and provide a rush of freedom as you speed over sand dunes, rocky trails, and wide-open plains.
Most tours include:
- Safety training and gear
- A guided desert ride
- Stops for photos and rest
- A visit to a Bedouin village for tea and camel rides
Best time: Early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.
2. Buggy Safari
Looking for something fun but a bit safer than quad biking? A buggy safari is ideal for couples and families. These off-road vehicles seat 2–4 people and come with seat belts and a roll cage for added safety.
You’ll still get plenty of excitement as you explore hidden desert trails and stop at scenic points. Buggy safaris are perfect for beginners and anyone looking for a shared adventure.
3. Jeep Safari
If you want to cover more ground without the physical effort, go for a Jeep safari. This guided 4×4 tour takes you deep into the desert, where you can see:
- Mountain landscapes
- Fossil formations and dry riverbeds
- Local Bedouin life and traditions
- Breathtaking sunset views
Jeep safaris are ideal for photographers, families, or those who prefer a more comfortable ride with a cultural touch.
4. Sunset Safari with Dinner
End your day with a sunset safari and Bedouin-style dinner under the stars. This tour combines quad biking or Jeep rides with:
- A desert sunset viewpoint
- Traditional entertainment like Tanoura dance or fire shows
- A freshly prepared Bedouin barbecue dinner
- Stargazing in the clear desert sky
It’s a romantic and immersive way to enjoy the desert’s magic.
