Can you visit a Bedouin village near Hurghada without booking an organized desert safari tour?

To visit the Bedouin village you need to arrange it through a local excursion company — you can't just show up on your own.

A jeep safari through the desert is a good option instead of quad bikes or buggies if you don't enjoy the bumpy ride.

Keep in mind the 'Bedouin village' is more of a staged tourist setup rather than a real, authentic settlement.

As part of the safari, tourists get camel and horse rides at the Bedouin camp.

There's also a small terrarium with reptiles at the site that's shown to tourists.

The safari route also includes seeing some rock structures/buildings, after which the group is driven back to the parking area and then to the hotel.
