Trekking the Sinai desert

Booking reference: sdsTg 01

Do you wish to give yourself the chance to go outside of your normal life stepping into a very different ancient land and culture? Are you ready to embrace the healing energies of Sinai? If you are, you will gain so much strength from the silence, the sand, the sun, and the secret of the desert. Let us take your hand and be your guide away from modern life.

We chose this path for its contrasting landscapes, soft sands and it is off the beaten track.

Day 1

Arrive at Sharm el Sheikh and transfer to Dahab 1–1.5 hours. Check in to your hotel. The Feel Lifted team will meet, welcome you and discuss your onward trip.

Day 2

After breakfast you will be collected from your hotel in Dahab.

We travel by road, 30–45 minutes to the Bedouin village of Wadi Gazala. We have some traditional Bedouin tea with our hosts. An introduction to our camels and then we are on our way. We cross the desert in the direction of the Lady Mountain and Nauamis.

The weather is good, sunshine, the sand is very soft, the colours and scenery are breathtaking. All around is openness and you will feel a sense of space and freedom.

We will rest and enjoy lunch prepared by our Bedouin Guides.

From here we continue our journey further into the desert. We travel for about two hours before stopping to set up camp. Our Guides will prepare our dinner over an open fire. Our first night sleeping under the stars!

Day 3

After breakfast we continue across the desert for approximately one hour. We reach Mkhroom Mountains. This is a beautiful area, the soft sands are lovely to walk through. We will spend some time here to rest and enjoy lunch. We continue further into the desert for approximately two hours to Al Sha Lahla desert.

In Al Sha Lahla desert we trek through several valleys, each valley has its own spectacular views and you will feel the special energy. As you walk through these valleys the breeze crosses from one valley to another carrying the scents of the desert plants. The colours, the sand, and the atmosphere are wonderful. We set up camp for the night as it is so beautiful.

Day 4

After breakfast we continue our journey to Al Haduda Valley. Approximately two hours by camel and trekking to the edge of the valley. We stop for rest and lunch.

After our lunch we go across the soft sands of this beautiful tranquil valley to its centre. Here at its centre you will embrace the desert. We set up camp for the night and enjoy the space surrounding us.

Day 5

After breakfast we trek for approximately 1.5–2 hours which takes us outside of the valley onto the highway. Our transport will be waiting to transfer us back to Dahab, 30 minutes.

You will have time to shower and change, after which we will go to Laguna.

Laguna is on the outskirts of Dahab. Its sandy beaches and easy entry into the clear blue waters make it a great area to go into the sea so you can gently recover from the desert trekking. We will have dinner on the front of the beach. A meal of fresh fish cooked on the open fire.

We return to the hotel in Dahab.

Day 6

We will collect you from your hotel in the morning. We travel by road, approximately 20–30 minutes drive outside Dahab to ‘The Three Balls’. The coloured coral reefs and marine life are beautiful and a complete contrast to the desert. Here we can enjoy snorkeling in the Red Sea, fishing, swimming, and sunbathing. We will prepare your lunch on the beach.

Return back to Dahab and meet later for dinner in one of the popular beach front restaurants.

Day 7

Today is your time to explore Dahab and its many bazaars full of interesting souvenirs where, we are sure you will find something for everyone. Don’t forget to barter, the shopkeepers look forward to it! Enjoy the Bedouin restaurants along the waterside. Ideal for watching the world go by.

We will get together in the evening for a farewell drink/dinner.

Day 8

Transfer back to Sharm el Sheikh.
