Quad Tour Safari, Makadi Bay & Hurghada: what it is and what it sells

Quad Tour Safari is a fair, cheap way to get a proper amount of quad riding out of Hurghada or Makadi Bay, provided you book it through its GetYourGuide listing, read the option you pick and ignore the camel ride as anything more than a photo.

Who Quad Tour Safari is

"Quad Tour Safari – Makadi Bay & Hurghada" is the name GetYourGuide shows as the activity provider on one listing: Hurghada: Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride with Optional GoPro, the desert quad bike and camel ride with optional GoPro. That is the only firm fact tying the name to a trip. Beyond it, the company publishes very little: no address beyond "Hurghada, Red Sea Governorate", no founding year, no fleet details and no licence.

Its listing gives shared transfer times of about 25–30 minutes from Makadi Bay or Sahl Hasheesh and 40–45 minutes from Hurghada. That puts its start south of the city, on the Makadi and Sahl Hasheesh side, rather than at the stations closest to central Hurghada. Where exactly the station and camp are is not published.

The company also has a recently registered website, quadtoursafari.com. It takes requests only ("not a confirmed booking"), shows no prices, and runs on a shared booking platform used by many Hurghada safari names. The five tours it shows carry the titles of other GetYourGuide listings, which also appear on another seller's storefront on the same platform, and not the title of its own listing. Treat the site as a contact page, not as a catalogue of what the company runs.

One more name trap: other Makadi Bay quad listings, such as the sunset quad with sea view, are not Quad Tour Safari's. Their descriptions follow the option menu of a different seller's listings, and nothing ties them to this company. See our Desert Fox Safari review for that family of listings.

What Quad Tour Safari sells: the GoPro quad listing

The listing Hurghada: Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride with Optional GoPro is a desert quad trip with a brief camel ride. Its description gives about two hours of quad riding (riding, not the whole trip), a camel ride for photos that it puts at two minutes, optional GoPro footage of your ride, and optional extras in the evening: an oriental dinner, a show and stargazing. Hotel pick-up is shared, with the transfer times above; there is also a ticket-only option without transfer. The whole trip runs 2–5 hours depending on the option.

Two hours of riding is the strong point. On most Hurghada trips at this price riding time is not stated at all, and comparable trips give 40–60 minutes on the quad. Before you pay, open the options and check that the one you choose carries the two hours; the evening options spend more time at the camp.

The camel ride is the weak point. Two minutes on a camel is a photo, not a ride. If the camel matters to you, book a dedicated ride of an hour or more instead; see camel rides in Hurghada.

The GoPro is an optional paid add-on, and its price is not shown in advance. Photo and GoPro packages are optional; you can say no, and prices vary widely, so ask before the ride starts.

Quad Tour Safari Makadi prices

There is no direct price list: the website is request-only. On GetYourGuide the listing started at about $16 per person when we checked. That "from" price is the cheapest option; dinner, show and stargazing raise it.

Budget a little cash on top, as with any Hurghada quad. Scarves and goggles are often sold at the station for around €5 each, so bring your own buff and sunglasses. Some listings add a cash "safari fee" of about €5–10 per person on the day; look under "Not included" on the listing before you book. A modest cash tip in small notes for the guide and driver is expected; nothing is compulsory.

Quad Tour Safari Makadi reviews: what to check

The listing rates 4.4 from about 2,900 reviews, written by people who booked through GetYourGuide. That is a solid score for a cheap quad trip, a little below the best-rated listings in the area, which tend to have a fixed, narrower programme. We did not find the company on Tripadvisor.

Rather than rely on any one review, check these points on the listing and with the seller:

• How long the quad ride is in the option you are booking.
• Whether you ride a single quad or share a double quad, and the age rule in your option. Under-16s cannot drive on the trips we checked.
• Whether a helmet is provided. The UK government's advice is "Always wear a crash helmet" (FCDO travel advice), and some insurers make it a condition.
• What the waiver says. Expect to sign one; read what it says about damage to the quad.
• The operator's Ministry of Tourism licence. Egypt requires desert trips to be run by companies licensed by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities; ask to see the licence and its expiry date.

Check your travel insurance too: many policies exclude quad biking unless you add cover.

How to book Quad Tour Safari

Book through the GetYourGuide listing. GetYourGuide is the booking agent; your contract is with the local operator named on the listing, so check that the provider shown is Quad Tour Safari before you pay. The listing's cancellation rule is shown on the page; GetYourGuide's standard is a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before.

The website's request form does not confirm a booking, so we would not use it to secure a date. If you need a pick-up from El Gouna, Soma Bay or Safaga, ask before booking whether it is offered and what it costs; from those resorts many sellers add €5–15 per person.

Alternatives to Quad Tour Safari

If you want a short, well-rated quad from the Makadi side, look at Makadi Excursions, whose own Makadi Bay quad is 2 hours door to door. If you are staying in Sahl Hasheesh, the stable reviewed in Sea Horse Sahl Hasheesh also sells quads close to the resort. For a station operator that publishes its programmes minute by minute, see Scorpion Safari.

To compare formats rather than companies, the quad tours guide sets out riding time, ages and prices, and Makadi Bay desert trips covers what is closest to the Makadi hotels. The operators hub lists every company we have reviewed.
