7x1Mega Safari Sharm El Sheikh

If you’re after a day filled with varied activities that showcase both the desert and the sea, the 7x1Mega Safari in Sharm el Sheikh might just be your ticket. While I haven’t personally taken this tour, reviews and descriptions paint a picture of a well-rounded experience that offers a taste of Bedouin culture, adrenaline-pumping rides, and stunning underwater scenery.

What stands out for many is the diversity of activities packed into roughly six to eight hours — from camel rides in the desert to snorkeling in the Red Sea, topped with parasailing and banana boat rides for added excitement. Two things we particularly like are the opportunity to enjoy authentic Bedouin hospitality during lunch and the chance to try multiple water sports in one trip.

The main drawback? It’s a pretty full day, so if you’re not keen on moving from activity to activity with minimal downtime, it might feel a bit tiring.

This tour is best suited for travelers who thrive on variety and adventure and who are comfortable with moderate physical activity. Families, groups, or solo travelers who like a bit of everything—desert, sea, and sky—will find this a compelling option.

The Itinerary Breakdown: What You Can Expect

The tour kicks off with pickup from your hotel — a convenient start that sets the tone for a hassle-free day. The first stop transports you to the desert Bedouins, where a camel ride awaits. It’s a classic desert experience that offers both a gentle introduction to Bedouin life and fantastic photo opportunities. According to reviews, the guides make the experience memorable, with one traveler noting, “Loved all the activities including parasailing. Quad biking was great and the banana boat was amazing. We loved the camel ride too.”

Following the camel adventure, the itinerary continues with a quad bike ride through the desert. For those who enjoy a bit of adrenaline, this is a highlight. It’s worth noting that a single quad bike supplement of 20 euros applies if you prefer to go solo rather than share. The quad rides are fast and bumpy, providing a real thrill while also giving you a chance to see the rugged, sun-baked terrain up close.

After working up an appetite, you’ll sit down for a typical Bedouin-style lunch — a welcome chance to relax and enjoy local flavors. This meal often receives praise for its authenticity and hearty portions. As one reviewer put it, “Tutto molto bello abbiamo fatto tutte le esperienze e ci siamo divertiti,” highlighting the satisfaction of completing all activities with a smile.

Post-lunch, the focus shifts from desert to sea with a swimming stop in the Red Sea. Expect clear waters teeming with marine life, ideal for snorkeling (equipment provided). While some reviews mention the glass boat experience being okay, others praise the snorkeling as a highlight of the trip. You might also find extra charges for snorkeling or visiting protected areas, so be prepared for additional fees if you wish to explore further.

The water-based fun continues with parasailing — a favorite for thrill-seekers. Under the supervision of a certified instructor, you’ll get a bird’s-eye view of the coast, a memory that’s both exciting and photogenic. Following that, a banana boat ride provides the perfect splashy finale, racing across the waves amid laughter and cheers.

The tour wraps up with return transfers to your hotel, giving you time to reflect on a day filled with adventure, cultural insight, and natural beauty.

The Value of the Experience

At just $70.48 per person, the 7x1Mega Safari offers a lot of activities for the price. The inclusion of transfers, lunch, snorkeling equipment, and soft drinks ensures you won’t be hit with unexpected costs. The optional extras—additional for snorkeling or the conservation area—are transparent, allowing you to tailor the day to your interests and budget.

Many travelers find the guided experience to be a highlight. Knowledgeable guides make a positive difference, explaining what’s happening and ensuring safety, especially during water sports like parasailing and banana boating.

While the duration may feel slightly rushed, the diversity of activities makes it worthwhile for those eager to maximize their time in Sharm el Sheikh. The group size, capped at 20 travelers, keeps things intimate enough for personal attention but lively enough to enjoy a shared adventure.

Authentic Experiences and Practical Tips

The camel ride at dawn or morning in the desert offers a peaceful, traditional experience, far removed from the touristy quick photo op. The Bedouin lunch is another authentic touch, often described as a genuine taste of local hospitality. Many reviews mention that the guides are friendly and informative, making the experience more engaging and less like just another tourist excursion.

In terms of timing, expect a full day of activities, so wearing comfortable clothes and bringing sunscreen, water, and a hat is wise. Since moderate physical fitness is recommended, those with mobility issues or limited stamina may want to consider their comfort level before booking.

Who Might Want to Consider Alternatives?

If your idea of a day trip involves more leisure than activity, or if you prefer a slower pace, this may feel too packed. Also, travelers seeking free snorkeling or diving should note that some extra fees apply if they want to explore beyond the basic equipment provided.

Those with limited physical mobility should consider whether they’re comfortable with quad biking and other active pursuits.
