Desert Safari: Egypt

Life is strange, sometimes, working as a freelancer. One day I’m in small-town Netherlands leading a bunch of 5th graders through windmills and then bam, two weeks later, I’m chasing an amateur racer top speed through the Egyptian  desert on a 4-wheeler. This was perhaps my single favorite experience in Hurghada, actually, though in total I spent three days in the desert outside of town on various ‘Desert Safari’ trips taking photographs for Get Your Guide.

Not a bad sort of way to pay for traveling, I’d say.

I did all of these tours through the African Deserts of Southern Egypt as a photographer for GetYourGuide. I found the guys at Egypt Excursions Online to be far more professional and engaging than any of their competitors I worked with. The full-day option is the Hurghada 4WD Desert Safari/ Dinner/Show, but click around to see some of their other options as well if you’re interested.

  1. Looks like a great time! I should have come… đŸ˜‰ I also love taking those close up camel shots, their very photogenic animals.

    • Hey Tarek, Thanks for your comment. I had a great time with EEO, actually, much more so than any of the other companies I worked with in Hurghada. I’ll have a couple more posts coming from Egypt, and almost all of them talk about how much fun I had with you guys. I wish you the best of luck with business given the current political climate, but Insha’allah you’ll continue to grow and thrive regardless.

  3. I never go to the Egypt Safari but i go to the Desert Safari Dubai and it was really a good experience of my life i enjoyed the dune bashing very much.
