On my birthday I was exceptionally lucky (that is sarcasm) and I got to go quad biking... I hated it, because naturally I was awful at it and had to get on the back of Andy's quad haha.
The journey takes about 45 minutes to get to a remote village where you all park up and head to the palm tree shelters for shisha and tea.
I really loved the tea, but the Shisha not so much as I couldn't do it. You are then given the opportunity to walk to the top of a Hill and take some photos, which we of course did. You are also given the option to ride Camels here and the word of warning is that these Camels are not well looked after, in my opinion.
We decided against the Camel ride as I wasn't convinced that the animals were looked after and wanted to be there, whereas the Camels at the Pyramids were very well looked after and seemed very relaxed and happy.
If I am being 100% honest, this was a trip I did completely for Andy. The quad biking wasn't for me and the instruction given wasn't great either. I felt the whole trip wasn't very well organised and it seemed that we stopped off at the village just for something to do. If we had the opportunity to do something like this again I would definitely be researching into the best trips to go on and looking for decent instruction and good instructors.
If you can take anything from this post, please research your trips on TripAdvisor prior to booking anything. We were really lucky with the rest of our trips, but this one was just a little too hit and miss for the price we paid.
