1 Hour Desert Safari By ATV Quad Bike around Giza Pyramids

Posted By : Chiara_T
Was a nice ride at sunset around pyramids.
Staff was kindly and we have lots of fun.
Our hotel was nearby the quad shop, so we didn't really had a pickup service ( was 2 min by walk) and the price didn't change, you pay for it anyway.
The only thing I didn't like was the area before reach the "safari": really, really dirty.

When we booked for two people “1 Hour Desert Safari by Quad Bike around the Pyramids of Giseh” what the title of the advert says, we expected to do exactly what was planned with pick up from our hotel in Cairo as well as the return, i.e. an hour of quad biking around the pyramids of Giza. Yet we received messages from the person managing this telling us;
_you have been picked up from your Hotel to the site and back. I then explained that this had nothing to do with the announcement, adding that I could just as easily take an Uber for less to get to the pyramid site. In short, after long, endless negotiations, I had to add money to be able to do this quad tour. But that's not all, in reality, something which is in no way specified, the trip planned with the driver consists of taking you around a bunch of "tourist trap" stores such as the papyrus factory, the manufacturer of cotton clothing, a bazaar store, essential oils in which you almost feel obliged to buy even though the products offered not only do not interest you but also at prices much higher than in France. Of course, the driver or his boss takes a percentage. This is the reality of what awaits you. I'm giving it a three star because I'm trying to put myself in context, it's Egypt, on the Giseh side, they basically only live with tourism. So we played the game and bought some trifles to distribute to friends and family. What I deplore is the lack of transparency and the way of doing things which is misleading, not to say deceptive. Otherwise, the hour of quad biking with my son even if we had to add money from our own pocket was the only thing that was really great. At the same time, we had booked only for that and the pick-up from and to the hotel. Everything else we endured in spite of ourselves. So, I had to tell you what to expect. And despite the request of the driver who wanted a 5 star, something that is not asked for, I still give 3 stars. They would benefit more from being clear with tourists and not taking us just for cash cows.

My guide was Ehab and driver Ahmad. They were polite and on time. I was taken to a few shops which I did not expect and did not account time for but the people at the shops were polite when I didn’t want to buy. ATV was fun and Ahmad had the other guide Drive another atv rather than sit in the front of mine which I appreciated. Tour is AROUND the Giza pyramids though which gives you a further and no crowds view but you won’t see the sphinx.

Ahmed was so wonderful. Along the ride to our tour he gave us very good egyptology… he also stopped by a perfume/oil shop. I purchased the eucalyptus oil. We also stooped by a store for snacks… thank you so much Ahmed

Hesham contacted me immediately upon booking. He arranged for the driver to pick us up from our hotel. We arrived and quickly began our tour. The view of the pyramids were absolutely beautiful and without the crowds of people. Our guides were great. I ended up booking other tours with Hesham since this one went so well. All tours were easily coordinated with him. I wish that I found him earlier!
