Sharm El Sheikh Bedouin Village, Camel Ride and Desert Dinner Experience
Where the Sinai Desert comes alive after dark.
Bedouin desert culture in the Sinai has survived unchanged for millennia. This evening is a rare chance to step into it: eat the way they ate, hear the music they played, and navigate by the same stars.
Best for: families, couples, first-time visitors to Egypt
As the Sinai sun sinks behind the dunes, a different Sharm El Sheikh emerges — ancient, quiet, and lit only by starlight. This 5-hour evening takes you out of the resort and into a living Bedouin tradition: camel rides, sand-cooked feasts, centuries-old music, and a galaxy of stars you will not see anywhere near the hotel strip.
Your air-conditioned vehicle collects you from your hotel and delivers you to a traditional Bedouin camp as golden hour settles over the desert. You step onto a camel and rock gently through the dunes while the horizon turns amber and rose—the best 15 minutes in Sharm for photographers. Back at camp, your hosts greet you with fragrant herbal tea and introduce you to the semsemia, the stringed Bedouin instrument whose notes seem to belong entirely to the desert.
Dinner is prepared the Bedouin way: buried in heated sand and slow-cooked until rich with smoky, earthy flavour. As you eat, the oriental show unfolds—music, movement, and stories older than any guidebook. When the plates clear, a professional digital telescope reveals constellations, planets, and star clusters that Bedouin navigators used for thousands of years. Your guide explains each one in plain language; it is part science lesson, part poetry.
All three options include hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle, and the tour suits families with children aged 3 and above. The standard group option is the most sociable; the VIP setting provides a private dinner table within the camp; the exclusive private tour (min. 2 persons) gives you your own guide and full flexibility. Free cancellation up to 12 hours before departure.
