South Sinai, Egypt

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

South Sinai is a rugged peninsula in northeastern Egypt, wedged between the Red Sea's Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba. It's world-renowned for some of the best diving and snorkelling on the planet, particularly around Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab, and the Ras Mohammed National Park, where vibrant coral reefs and abundant marine life draw underwater enthusiasts year-round. On land, the dramatic Sinai mountains — home to Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine's Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site — attract hikers and pilgrims alike. The region's laid-back coastal towns, warm winters, and mix of Bedouin culture and beach life make it a favourite for both adventure seekers and those after a sun-soaked escape.

Nomadic Trek Through Egypt's Sinai Desert — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of the classic 8-day Bedouin-guided expedition into the South Sinai wilderness. You'll base yourself at a relaxed Sharm El Sheikh beach hotel, then arrange your own local Bedouin guide and camel support (or join a small group through a Bedouin-run outfit in Dahab/St Catherine) to trek the wadis and gorges of the interior, summit Jebel Um Shomer (8,490 ft), sleep under the Milky Way, share a night with a local family, and finish at the palm-fringed Ein Kidd oasis. Everything the operator bundles — guides, camels, meals, transfers, camping gear — is available locally at a fraction of the price; you just book it yourself. All costs are approximate, per person, excluding international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for South Sinai, Egypt yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
