Snorkelling
After an early breakfast, please meet your Group Leader in the hotel reception at 08.00. Today you will enjoy a snorkel safari in the Southern Oasis, a remote and pristine area with a huge variety of colourful marine life and coral. It gets its name from a patch of palm trees that stand near to the site. You have a stop for lunch before getting back in the water to further explore the coral islands and pinnacles. (BL)
Desert Experience
After breakfast you will head into the desert, driving 50 km north east of Dahab. Here you will enjoy exploring the desert by 4WD before arriving at Ein Hudra, a lush palm oasis and natural spring, where you stop for lunch. There is the opportunity then to go for a 40 minute walk through the White Canyon or choose to relax in the desert wilderness. The evening is spent under the stars at Matamir, with your guide regaling tales of local folklore against the night sky. You can get involved by collecting firewood and bread making, before you sleep at a Bedouin camp, under the stars if you wish!
The camp consists of a woven communal Bedouin tent, You sleep in 2-man domed tents with mattresses provided. The camp is sectioned into several areas; a sleeping/relaxation area, a wash area and a kitchen area which is set away from the main tent. In Winter, it can get very cold in the desert, so you are advised to bring a sleeping bag. Additional blankets are provided.
Bedouin camp with shared facilities (C) - 1 night (BLD)
Sleeping in a bedouin tent or under the stars is a great opportunity to experience the authentic bedouin lifestyle and get a local flavour of the desert.
Jeep Safari
After breakfast the 4x4 Jeeps arrive to take you south into "Lawrence of Arabia Desert" where you discover the frozen dinosaur rock formation and the sand dune of Hadoudah which is the highest dune in the Sinai and a great place to give sand boarding a go! Minimum age 8 - younger children can sandboard using special lighter boards on smaller dunes or try dune rolling! Enjoy the famous Bedouin hospitality as you spend time with a local family at Nawamis before returning to Dahab. In the evening, there is plenty of time to explore and enjoy dinner in one of its many restaurants.
Coral Coast Hotel (AAA) - 4 nights (BL)
Free Day - Optional Activities
Today is a free day with a variety of optional activities (at additional charge) for you to try your hand at such as windsurfing (minimum age 12) or you can choose to simply relax. (B)
Laguna Beach
This morning you head to Laguna Beach where you spend the day relaxing, building sand castles and playing in the sea. In the afternoon there is a trip out on the ocean in a glass bottomed boat, from which you can enjoy watching the abundance of marine life that lives in deeper water. This evening, for those who still have energy left, you can choose to go on an optional trip (additional charge) to St Catherine's Monastery combined with a climb up Mt Sinai. Minimum age 8. Departing late evening you take a 2 hour drive to St Catherine's and start the climb up Mt Sinai. This will take approximately 2.5 hrs to reach the summit for sunrise at around 5.30 am. It is a relatively easy hike although there are a lot of steps up to the top and it can be windy, so care may need to be taken. There are plenty of resting places along route, with an area at Elias Garden for teas and coffee, just before the 720 steps of repentance to the summit. Camels can be hired to take you most of the way up the mountain, although you will need to dismount when you reach the steps. This is a beautiful climb, which offers a taste of the serenity and magnificence of southern Sinai's high mountain region. (B)
Free Day - Optional Activities
You have more time for a range of optional activities (at additional charge) on this second free day, or if you would prefer to recharge your batteries you can just relax at the hotel or in Dahab. There is a circus workshop for the kids, where they can have a go at juggling, magic, riding a unicycle and walking on stilts. For the adults, why not discover the fascinating underwater world of the Red Sea with an intro dive to learn about the incredible marine life in Egypt. Lasting approximately 3 hours the session includes theory and briefing with an equipment overview and underwater session to a maximum depth of 12m. Minimum age 10, children from 8 and above can do a bubblemaker class in the pool.
If you chose the optional visit to St Catherine’s and Mt. Sinai, you will return to Dahab around 2pm for a well earned rest! This evening you head into the nearby mountain range by jeep, where you will stop for a traditional Bedouin dinner. (BD)
