Spend a full day combining a three-hour ATV desert safari with a speedboat ride to Orange Bay. You’ll ride a camel, stop for Bedouin tea, snorkel twice at Giftun Island, and return by hotel transfer. The tour is led in English, with Go Shalaby handling the day.
“Everything was fantastic. In fact, it was impeccable, except for the quads that didn't accept the local currency. And I didn't have any euros with me. They started doubling my prices (yes, masks are mandatory, but they don't tell you) and they cost 1€ or 1$ but you can't give them the same amount at their exchange rate. From there, they started to get weird because I was accusing them of trying to rip me off, they started calling me "Italian mafia" but at that point I decided to impersonate a mafioso and everything went back to normal”
