Detailed Description

Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula can be breathtakingly silent. The only sounds will come from the wind whipping across the dunes or your own breathing beneath the water. Wilderness will envelop you at every turn as rugged mountains, remote reefs, pristine beaches, and rippling dunes surround you. It is as if the world has stood still, a feeling intensified when you travel with the Bedouin to camp where the desert meets the sea. Few places on the planet will feel as escapist while still being able to provide contemporary comfort. The camp and waterfront hotel on this itinerary will effortlessly blend nature with a reassuring level of luxury.

Evocative and enchanting, the Sinai is where the raw beauty of the desert and the water come together and this exclusive safari has been handcrafted to celebrate the best of both. You will dive the legendary sites around Dahab, which will allow you to absorb the inimitability of Red Sea life. Then you will cross the desert by camel on a unique journey to the tiny Bedouin village of Ras Abu Galum. Some of the Red Sea’s most untouched reefs are found here and you will have as much time as you desire to dive them between your camel rides onto the desert peaks for sunrise and sunset.

All the dives will be privately guided and you will enjoy a minimum of ten dives during the safari. Three days of diving in Dahab will allow you to visit a wide range of sites, including the surreal Blue Hole and Napoleon Reef. These dive sites will showcase the Red Sea’s diversity, with a mix of shallow and deep sites, as well as boat and shore entries. The two days of diving around Ras Abu Galum will primarily consist of vast shallow sites rich in color and life whose inaccessibility has been integral to keeping them absolutely pristine. From Ras Abu Galum you can choose to return to Dahab by camel or by road. Both routes will reveal a rugged wilderness that connects you with nature.
