11 Days Jeep and Camel Safari Crossing Sinai

1^st Day: Hotel – Wadi Feiran – Valley of Inscriptions – Valley of Writing – Serabit El Khadem

Wadi Arada – In the morning we will pick you up at the reception of your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Taba or Nuweiba. If you stay in any other part of Egypt such as Cairo we can of course organize the transfer to Sinai for you.

We travel by jeep to the Wadi Feiran which is located on the other side of the Sinai Peninsula so that we have to cross the inland. The Wadi Feiran is Sinai’s largest valley and one of its most important archaeological and historical sites. It was here that Moses is said to have touched a rock with his walking stick, educing a well for the thirsty Israelites. Therefore you can find here lots of remains of ancient churches. But also the nature here is beautiful, with a lush palm forest embedded in the rough landscape with steep cliffs, which gave the wadi the name ‘Pearl of Sinai’. We will relax a bit in this enchanting area; then we will drive to the Wadi Maghara, the so-called ‘Valley of Inscriptions’. Relief inscriptions in the rocks date back to an early period of Pharaonic Egypt when mines containing turquoises and copper were explored here. There are also several engravings made by officials and administrators of the mines. Further the remains of an ancient fortified settlement have been found here. After lunch you will ride through the Wadi Mukattab, the ‘Valley of Writing’; its steep rock walls feature countless ancient carvings, most of the in the Nabatean language, and rock paintings. Finally you will pass by the Gebel Maghara mountain until you will reach to Serabit Al Khadem where you will set up camp. On the way we will make a short stop at the mausoleum of Sheikh Hubos, a religious dignitary highly honored by the locals. After dinner you will experience the first open air night under the unique starlit desert sky.

Lunch and dinner included. Overnight camping.

2^nd Day: Serabit – Temple of Hathor – Himayir

After breakfast you will climb up Mount Serabit until you reach the Temple of Hathor, the ancient love and joy goddess. She was also worshipped as the mistress of turquoises and therefore honored by the miners who once worked here in the rich turquoise mines. In the remains of the sanctuary you can still find their engravings. After descending from the mountain you will relax a bit and enjoy a tasty lunch. Then you will meet you new companions, well trained gentle camels, and their experienced Bedouin guides. You will ride now eastwards, crossing the sandy area of Rummlah until you reach the fascinating Himayir area with rock formations and a high sand dune. You will encamp here.
