Hurghada is surrounded by Desert and you must spend some time exploring throughout your stay. One of the best things to do in the heart of the desert is visiting a Bedouin village to feel the ancient spirits. Learn about the different culture and the lifestyle of the Bedouins. Spending an evening under the stars in a Bedouin tent will be one of the highlights of your holiday. Sit around a campfire enjoying a traditional Bedouin dinner being entertained by folk songs and traditional entertainment.

If you want something a little bit more exhilarating then why not join a 4x4 jeep experience off road through the desert to get your heart racing and pulse jumping. One of the best ways to experience the desert is by enjoying a traditional camel ride. Traveling in style like the Bedouins on the back of a one humped camel is a memorable experience for any holiday to Hurghada.
