About this experience

Journey into one of Egypt's most spectacular and least-visited national parks on this full-day 4x4 safari adventure. Wadi El Gemal (Valley of the Camels) is a protected area covering over 7,000 square km of desert, mountains, and pristine Red Sea coastline. Your experienced desert guide drives you deep into the park in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle. Visit the ruins of Wadi Sikait, where the ancient Egyptians (and later the Romans) mined emeralds — some historians call these "Cleopatra's Mines." Explore the dramatic desert landscape of rocky wadis, acacia trees, and vast sandy plains. Stop at a Bedouin settlement for traditional tea and learn about desert survival techniques passed down through generations. Your guide spots desert wildlife including gazelles, foxes, and raptors. The tour includes a stop at a pristine, deserted beach within the park for swimming and snorkeling in completely untouched waters.
