Mini-Park of Ancient Egypt Quad Safari in Sharm El Sheikh

The Mini-Park of Ancient Egypt, also known as the Valley of Miniatures, is a unique desert experience where history and adventure come together. This trip takes you into a desert valley transformed into an open-air museum, featuring miniature replicas of Egypt’s most famous landmarks.

You can reach the Mini-Park by quad bike or buggy — the choice is yours. Inside the valley, you will see detailed mini-copies of the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, the Temple of Ramses II, and a replica of the Luxor Temple, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the Sinai Desert.

Quad bikes and buggies are specially designed for off-road desert terrain. These four-wheel vehicles are easy to control and suitable even for beginners. A quad bike is operated with handlebars, throttle, and brakes, making it accessible to riders of different ages and experience levels. Teenagers from 13 years old can usually ride a quad independently, while buggies require only minimal driving experience and are also very easy to handle.

Before the ride, you will receive safety instructions from a professional instructor. During the safari, guests are kindly asked to follow all safety rules, avoid excessive speed, and ride carefully over sand dunes. For comfort, it is recommended to wear dark, comfortable clothing, as desert sand can be dusty.

In addition to riding quad bikes or buggies to the Mini-Park of Ancient Egypt, this experience also includes:

• Traditional Bedouin tea with local Bedouins

• Camel riding in the desert (short ride)

This tour is a perfect combination of light adventure, culture, and unique photo opportunities, ideal for families, couples, and first-time quad riders looking for something different in Sharm El Sheikh.

Program – Mini-Park of Ancient Egypt Quad Safari in Sharm El Sheikh

(the exact pickup time will be confirmed after booking). You will travel by a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer to the quad and buggy safari center located in the desert outside the city.
The drive takes approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on your hotel location.

- Quad or Buggy Safari Ride

After selecting your quad bike or buggy, tying the traditional headscarf (arafatka), putting on protective goggles (mandatory for wind and sand protection), and receiving a safety briefing, you will set off on a real desert safari together with a professional instructor.

You will ride through the wild desert landscapes and the Sinai Mountains toward the Valley of Miniatures (Mini-Park of Ancient Egypt).
The riding time on quad bikes or buggies is approximately 1 hour.

Upon arrival, you will stop to explore the open-air mini-park, where you can:

• The mini safari park is privately owned and operated. The owner reserves the right to close the park without prior notice. In the event that you arrive and the park is closed, a full refund for the entrance tickets will be provided.
• Very important: Quad bike safari is strictly not recommended for pregnant women due to safety reasons.
• Safari routes are strictly regulated by the government. There is only one approved desert route, and all guests ride in a single line behind the guide, observing a mandatory speed limit for safety.

• Even if you book a private guide or a private safari, all participants must still follow the official route, ride in one line, and comply with safety regulations. Safety is the highest priority on all safari excursions.

• Professional photographers on safari trips work independently and are not affiliated with the tour organizers. Any arrangements regarding photos or videos, including prices and delivery, must be agreed upon directly with the photographer on site. We strongly recommend obtaining the photographer’s contact details before making any payment.

• If you require assistance during the trip or wish to change your quad bike or buggy, please inform the guide immediately so the issue can be resolved on the spot.

• Camel riding is a short photo ride, lasting approximately 5 minutes and completing one small circle. Bedouins may request tips; tipping is optional, and you are free to decline.

• Group size typically ranges from 10 to 20 quad bikes or buggies, depending on the day and time.

• If you book a double quad bike and the total weight exceeds 145 kg, safari center staff will offer either:

  • Two single quad bikes, or

  • One two-seat buggy
    (additional charges may apply).

• If after starting the ride you feel unable to control the quad bike safely, you may be accompanied by a guide or another guest. In such cases, the tour cost is non-refundable.

• Children 13 years and older are allowed to ride a quad bike independently, provided they can confidently control the vehicle and follow instructions.

• All quad bikes in Egypt are standardized models and are not officially classified as single or double. Prices are listed for clarity and include round-trip transfers and the safari program with desert stops.

• Due to current economic conditions in Egypt, fleet renewal is challenging for all operators. However, all vehicles are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure safe operation.

• If you are provided with equipment that does not meet operational standards, please immediately request a replacement from the guide or contact us so we can resolve the issue promptly.
