Introduction
An Eastern Desert safari is Hurghada's favourite land adventure: 4x4 convoys race from the coast across ochre gorges to a Bedouin camp. Ride camels, watch flatbread baking and sip herbal tea as the sun sets the hills alight; many trips add shows and stargazing. In half a day you swap the beach for a nomadic world.
