This 1 week package combines a 3-day deep desert trek with lots of time to relax by the sea and dive. It’s a favourite with friends who love diving Dahab, but also find themselves getting curious about the desert!
Start with 3 days diving Dahab’s beautiful dive sites. With more than 15 dive sites, you’re spoiled for choice.
There are plenty of dive sites for every level of diver, but some of our most famous sites like the Canyon and Blue Hole are Advanced dives (30m depth). If you’re an Open Water Diver who would like to do these dives, just add the Advanced course upgrade to your diving.
We’d love to introduce you to the deep desert! It’s an amazing place, with a lot more variety than most people imagine.
Trekking from Wadi Arada to Ein Khudra Oasis is 3 days by camel (or 4 days inc St Catherine). The trek starts just 1 hour from Dahab, and takes you onto the El Guna Plateau through slot canyons and into a palm-tree oasis. You can ride your camel or walk alongside, most people do a bit of both.
Available year round except summer. Diving is year round, but trekking is best October to April.
