02Overview
A first look
This is a three-hour desert outing from Sharm El Sheikh, shorter than a full safari and easy to fit around a beach day. A vehicle collects you from your hotel in the morning, afternoon or at sunset, and drives to the safari base. After a briefing and practice lap, you ride a quad bike for about an hour in convoy to Echo Valley, where you stop to hear your voice bounce off the rock walls. A short camel ride and Bedouin tea follow. The group is shared, with up to 30 guests, and riders must be aged 6 or over.
Background
The facts
Echo Valley lies in the desert a short drive from Sharm El Sheikh's hotel areas. The whole outing takes about 3 hours, with roughly one hour of quad riding between the base and the valley.
