Trekking and Camels
Trekking in The High Mountain Range of Sinai this tour is a trek on foot in the area around the Sinai. Food and equipment are carried on camels’ backs, form one night camp to the next. A trek in this region is a unique experience that combines Bedouin population, and a visit to one of the holiest sites of the world’s major monotheistic religions. More and more western travelers are beginning to roam through out Sinai Peninsula in vehicles. But the mountains area is UN Penetrable by vehicle and have therefore remained relatively unexplored. This is a riding tour on camels in the area of south Sinai between the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez crossing the high mountains range of Sinai. Riding through this region includes climbing beautiful mountains and hiking through lovely wades. All routs are un penetrable by vehicles and therefore it has a very special atmosphere that you can never have in any region. We frequently leave the prescribed rout to travel along new trails, seeking out beautiful scenery, archeological sites and Bedouin encampments many of them never visited by westerners. A Bedouin mountain guide with an intimate knowledge of the region assists us on hikes. Along with the camel riders, enables us to become better aquatinted with the Bedouin lifestyle.
