Getting around Makadi Bay’s desert terrain is most exciting by quad bike or ATV, offering a perfect mix of adventure and sightseeing. The most worthwhile routes combine desert safaris with stops at authentic Bedouin settlements, while coastal tours to Orange Island showcase the area’s natural beauty.
I especially recommend the morning desert tours – they avoid the midday heat and provide the best photo opportunities. The 4-hour Bedouin experience stands out for its cultural authenticity and well-maintained vehicles. For families, the shorter beachside routes offer gentle rides suitable for beginners.
These guided excursions include hotel pickup, basic training, and safety gear, typically ranging from $30-60 per person. Check out our selected tours to find your ideal desert adventure.
