Planning an Excursion Budget
One of the most common questions before a Sharm El Sheikh holiday is how much extra to budget for activities. The answer depends on whether you want a short desert ride, a full combination package or a Red Sea day trip.
For UK travellers, comparing prices can also be confusing when different sellers quote in different currencies or bundle different inclusions. The figures below use Sharm Desert Dreams’ current advertised GBP prices as a practical starting point. Prices can change, so always confirm the live amount and inclusions before booking.
Quad Bike Prices
A single quad currently starts at £20 for one person. For groups of 6–8 people, the advertised rate is £15 per person.
A single quad package with a camel ride, dinner and show is currently £35 for one person, or £30 per person for groups of 6–8.
Double quad options currently start at £15 per person for a minimum of two people, falling to £10 per person for groups of 6–8. Adding a camel ride, dinner and show brings the current price to £30 per person for a minimum of two, or £25 per person for groups of 6–8.
Buggy Prices
A single buggy currently starts at £35 for one person, or £30 per person for groups of 6–8. The single buggy package with camel ride, dinner and show is currently £50 for one person, or £45 per person for groups of 6–8.
A double buggy currently starts at £20 per person for a minimum of two people, with a group rate of £15 per person for 6–8 people. The combination with camel ride, dinner and show is currently £35 per person for a minimum of two, or £30 per person for 6–8.
Family Buggy Prices
For families or larger groups, the current family buggy rate starts at £15 per person for a minimum of four people. For groups of 8–12, the advertised rate is £13 per person.
The family buggy package with camel ride, dinner and show currently starts at £25 per person for a minimum of four people, or £23 per person for groups of 8–12.
Ras Mohammed & White Island
The current advertised price for the Ras Mohammed & White Island excursion is £30 per person. This is a different type of experience from the desert activities, focusing on the Red Sea, boat travel, swimming and snorkelling.
Check the current service page for the exact itinerary, pickup details, inclusions and any additional fees or equipment arrangements.
Water Activities
Sharm Desert Dreams currently advertises its water-activities experience from £30 per person. The live page includes activities such as a semi-submarine experience, parasailing and banana boating.
Because water packages can vary considerably between providers, compare the actual activities and duration rather than assuming two £30 packages are identical.
Why Group Size Changes the Price
Many desert activities become cheaper per person for larger groups because transport, guides and operating costs can be spread across more participants. This is why a group of six or eight may receive a lower per-person rate than a solo traveller.
If you are travelling with friends or extended family, ask for the correct group price rather than booking each person independently.
What Should You Check Before Comparing Prices?
A low headline price is not automatically the best deal. Ask whether hotel transfers are included, how long the actual activity lasts, whether food or entertainment is included and whether the experience is private or shared.
Also check cancellation terms and any activity-specific requirements. Transparent inclusions make it much easier to compare like for like.
Booking in GBP with UK-Based Support
Sharm Desert Dreams is UK-based and helps travellers arrange selected Sharm El Sheikh excursions through trusted local partners. Prices are presented in GBP, which can make budgeting easier for UK travellers.
Use this guide as a snapshot rather than a permanent tariff. Always check the current website or booking confirmation for the final price and inclusions.
