Marsa Alam Quad & Astronomy FAQ
What is the minimum age to drive a Quad in Marsa Alam?
To drive a solo Quad Bike, guests must be 16 years or older. No driving license is required as the tour takes place on private desert trails. Children aged 4 to 15 can safely join as passengers on a Double Quad behind an adult.
How clear are the stars in the Marsa Alam desert?
Marsa Alam is world-renowned for Zero Light Pollution. During our session, a professional astronomy guide uses computerized telescopes to reveal deep-space objects like Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and the Milky Way in high definition.
Is the camel ride safe for children and beginners?
Yes! Our camels are exceptionally gentle and handled by local Bedouin experts. This is a short, scenic walk around the camp designed for beginners and families to experience traditional desert transport safely.
What should I pack for a desert night trip?
We recommend long trousers and sneakers for the quad drive. Because the desert temperature drops after sunset, bring a light jacket or hoodie. Don't forget a scarf (Arafat) and sunglasses for the daytime portion of the ride.
Can I request a vegetarian or vegan dinner?
Our Bedouin BBQ buffet naturally includes many vegetarian options like rice, lentils, grilled vegetables, and fresh tahini salad. For strict vegan or gluten-free requirements, please mention this during booking so we can accommodate you.
