Description

Discover the Sinai desert

A trip to the Sinai just isn’t complete without a desert safari.

But what if you only have 1 day? Is a ‘big bus trip’ you’re only option? Of course not!

We’ll get you off the beaten track with a local Bedouin guide who will be happy to introduce you to the landscape and people of the Sinai.

This is a daytrip by jeep, exploring further on foot:

  • Nawamis
  • Jebel Makhroum
  • Bir Safra
  • Wadi Safra dune
  • Bedouin lunch in Wadi Arada
  • Adventure hike through the Double Canyon
  • Stunning sandstone mountains
  • Option to add Mt Sinai and St Catherine monastery
  • Warm welcome by the people of the desert
  • Small group, with local Bedouin guide

Minimum 3 people to guarantee booking. Single travelers welcome. We will add you to a group, or suggest alternative date/safari.
