A private quad safari tour in Luxor is an exhilarating way to experience the desert landscape and mountains surrounding the city. These tours are very popular during the early morning (for sunrise) and late afternoon (for sunset), when temperatures are more comfortable and the lighting is spectacular for photography.
Itinerary Highlights
The tour is typically a 2-3 hour experience from pick-up to drop-off, with about 1.5 to 2 hours of actual riding time. The focus is on adventure and scenery, rather than a deep dive into historical sites.
- Early Morning (Sunrise) or Late Afternoon (Sunset) Pick-up: A private, air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise. The pick-up time is planned to coincide with either sunrise or sunset.
- Transfer to Quad Bike Station: You will be driven to a quad bike station on the West Bank, which serves as the starting point for your desert adventure.
- Safety Briefing & Test Drive: Upon arrival, you’ll receive a safety briefing from an experienced instructor. This includes a short test drive to help you get comfortable with the easy-to-use controls of the quad bike.
- The Desert Ride: This is the main part of the tour. You will ride your quad bike through rugged desert terrain, navigating sand dunes and rocky paths. The route often provides panoramic views of the Theban mountains and the vast desert landscape.
- Scenic Stops: Your guide will usually make a few stops at scenic viewpoints. For a sunset tour, this is the perfect opportunity to watch the sun dip below the horizon, casting beautiful colors over the desert. For a sunrise tour, you’ll witness the desert come to life in the morning light. Some tours may also include a visit to a Bedouin-style tent for a cup of traditional tea.
- Return Journey: After the ride, you’ll return to the quad bike station and then be transferred back to your hotel.
