2.Safari ATV Quad & Speedboat to Orange bay island

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 34 reviews · from $63Best value

Start with a three-hour ATV safari, camel ride, and tea at a Bedouin village, then take a speedboat to Orange Bay Island. You’ll get two 20-minute snorkeling stops, lunch, fruit, drinks, equipment, and hotel transfers. Go Shalaby handles the day in English.

“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”
