Combined tours for kids 7+

Super Safari (Hurghada or Sharm) runs combined activities. Children from 7 ride as passengers with a guardian on quad/buggy, then enjoy camel, Bedouin village and dinner. This is the safest family option in our catalogue.

Pure quad tours for kids 12+

Pure ATV/quad tours apply a minimum age of 12 to drive. Younger siblings cannot tag along on the same machine for insurance reasons.

Camel-only and jeep options

If you are travelling with very young kids, the closed 4x4 jeep safari or a short sunset camel ride is the smoothest experience. Both have no quad seat-time at all.

What to bring with kids

Closed shoes, sun hats, sun cream, a small water bottle each, and a light jacket for evening returns. Many guests bring wet wipes for after-dinner.

Is this for you?

Best for

• Families with children aged 7+ on combined tours • Multi-generational groups • Parents who want a closed-vehicle option

Common questions

  • Can a 5-year-old come on a desert tour?+

    Yes on jeep or short camel rides. Not on quad/buggy or combined tours, which we apply from age 7.

  • Is there a child seat in the pickup van?+

    Standard hotel transfer is a minivan with seatbelts. We do not provide infant car seats. If you need one, please tell us in advance.

  • Will kids see live animals?+

    Camels for sure. Bedouin villages sometimes have goats. We do not run any wild-animal interaction tours.
