Incredible views, mountains, sand dunes and wadis
With its majestic peaks, vast desert, beautiful waters and a mystical past, the Sinai is the perfect wilderness to be discovered on foot. With the help of our friendly local Bedouin guides we trek through this immense wilderness, taking in beautiful sights and ancient temples as we go. After time at the fisherman's town of Abou Zaneima on the Gulf of Suez, we head to Mount Sarabit which offers striking views out over the jagged and parched landscape from its summit. We could not trek in the Sinai without climbing the fabled Mount Moses and visiting St Catherine's Monastery. The impressive landscape and an insight into local culture and history ensures that this trek will live long in the memory.
