hurghada
Originally a fishing village, Hurghada has long since morphed into today’s dense band of resorts and hotels that marches along the coastline for more than 20km. It is a great destination for combining a diving holiday with the Nile Valley sites. Further offshore there is still superb diving aplenty; local NGOs are helping the town clean up its act, and the southern resort area and Sigala's sparklingly modern marina have brought back some of Hurghada's sheen.

Ride a quad bike through Egypt’s ancient history on a 2-hour self-drive adventure tour of the Giza Plateau. Get perfect views of the three Giza pyramids as you power your 250-cc bike to the top of the area’s highest dunes, then roar across the flats at up to 40 mph (64 kph). Explore on your own or ride as a pair, and experience the Giza Plateau at its most exciting and rugged.




Itinerary
Meet your guide at your Cairo or Giza hotel for transfer to the quad bike base by the Giza Pyramids. Learn the basics of safety and operation, then suit up and head across the sand. Practice steering your bike up the sides of dunes, then take on rolling slopes and rippling sand formations. Cruise past rustling palms and groups of swaying camels, and enjoy a warm desert wind as you open up the throttle and hit full speed. Spot the pyramids built by Khafre and Menkaure, get views of the mysterious Great Sphinx, and take in Khufu’s stunning Great Pyramid, the only surviving ‘Wonder of the Ancient World.’ Don’t forget your camera—climbing up the dunes around the pyramids is the ideal way to get panoramic shots of Giza away from the crowds. At the end of your 2-hour ride, head back to base for the return trip to your Cairo hotel.
