About This Tour
Get off the beaten path and discover the authentic soul of Egypt’s Eastern Desert with Tango Travel’s Desert Safari from Safaga Port — a thrilling and immersive adventure designed for cruise guests who crave exploration, culture, and nature.
After pickup from your cruise ship, travel in a private vehicle to the desert outskirts between Safaga and Hurghada. There, you’ll hop into a 4x4 Land Cruiser and speed across sand dunes and rocky valleys on a guided safari trail through the rugged terrain of the Eastern Sahara.
Stop at a traditional Bedouin village, where you’ll meet locals, enjoy fresh Bedouin bread and herbal tea, and gain insight into desert life. Try your hand at camel riding, take photos in traditional dress, and admire the simple lifestyle of the nomads who call this place home.
After sunset, enjoy a delicious BBQ dinner under the stars, surrounded by candlelight and desert silence. Then, the highlight of the night: stargazing. With no city lights to interfere, you’ll see the Milky Way, bright planets, and constellations. A local guide may offer insights, or you can simply relax in awe.
This shore excursion combines excitement, culture, and serenity — all while ensuring you return to your ship on time and stress-free.
