Quad Bike or Dune Buggy at the Giza Pyramids?

Both take you onto the open sand behind the Giza pyramids, both come with a guide, and both give you those famous views. The difference is in how the ride feels.

Quad bike (ATV)

  • Ride: you sit astride and steer with handlebars.

  • Feel: sporty and hands-on, closer to a motorbike.

  • Best for: thrill-seekers and solo riders.

  • Price: from $35 for 1 hour, $60 for 2 hours, $75 for 3 hours.

Dune buggy

  • Ride: you sit in a seat with a belt and a steering wheel.

  • Feel: steadier, more like a small off-road car.

  • Best for: couples, first-timers and anyone nervous on handlebars.

  • Price: VIP buggy ride from $80.

Which one should you choose?

Choose a quad if you want the most active ride. You feel every dune, you choose your line and it is the classic way to ride at the pyramids.

Choose a buggy if you would rather sit back, share the ride with your partner or a friend, and keep a steady grip on a wheel.

What is included

Hotel pick-up in Cairo or Giza, a helmet, a safety briefing with a practice lap, a guide riding with you, water and Egyptian tea.

Can’t decide?

Combine a quad ride with a camel or horse ride around the pyramids, from $75.
