What is dune bashing? 

For those who have not been to safari trips before, dune bashing is a thrilling and exciting four-wheel drive activity. You drive on the steep sand dunes up and down and go through the high hells in spacious land cruiser, jeep or hummer. The process of this rough sport requires a highly trained and licensed safari driver, and if not, a penalty will be taken. It is rare to find dune bashing included in Sharm el sheikh day tours 

 

 

 

 

Camel riding is one of the great adventure tours in Sharm el sheikh excursions for embracing the Egyptian Bedouin culture. Local Bedouins depended on camels to survive their lives in the desert. it was their only way for transportation back then.  You can also have camel and horse rides by the beach. 

 

 

 

Sandboarding might seem too difficult to be done, but all you have to do is balancing your body. After you are finished with the dune bashing session which is often scheduled before sunset, you stop by high soft dunes to try out boarding. I can tell you that this activity is pretty fun and hilarious. You can fall out as much as you can, it does not matter, just have fun and keep trying. 

There will be a safari instructor that will tell you what to do and help out while giving you board and helmet. Balance your body while slipping down the dune and stick your feet well to the border.
