Sinai Desert Adventure A desert adventure in the Sinai: camel trekking, jeep safari and an ascent of Mt Sinai plus a visit to the Great Pyramids of Giza

The dramatic landscape of the Sinai is an inviting destination for the active and adventurous. The trip starts in Cairo where there is a full day to explore the Great Pyramids and Sphinx. Our 4-wheel-drive vehicle then take us into the Sinai for some spectacular walking at Mt Sarabit and El Banat. From here we head to St Catherine's at the foot of Mt Sinai, where there is time to explore the magnificent 6th century monastery. After ascending Mt Sinai (2285m.), we take a morning's camel safari into the silent grandeur of the desert and experience for ourselves the harsh conditions and stark beauty of life in the desert. We trek through the White Canyon to Ein Khodra before a more relaxing day in the coastal town of Dahab. The brilliant blue waters of the Red Sea offer some of the world's best snorkelling with an exceptional array of coral and marine life - a fitting way to end a memorable trip.

Is this trip for you? This is a fun, sometimes rugged week to see a different culture and sample new activities. The trip requires a reasonable level of fitness as there is a fair amount of walking.

WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES
In all the items below, “included” means either in the price or in a specified “local payment”.

Flights
The prices include flights from a UK airport to the destination airport and back, UK departure tax, all necessary domestic flights on the trip itinerary and all airport transfers. Where this is not the case it is specifically mentioned in the Dates & Prices box for the individual trip. If you book at the “land only” price, international flights and related airport transfers are not included, but domestic flights generally are, except where tickets for these have to be issued in conjunction with your international ticket. If you do not need our group flights, please ask for the “land only” price.

Accommodation
This is included in the price. If you’re camping, we provide sturdy two-person tents and all necessary communal camping and cooking gear, so you will just need to bring a sleeping bag and, on most trips, a sleeping mat.

Single rooms or tents
Our prices are based on twin share accommodation. If you book on your own (many people do), we arrange for you to share with a person of the same sex. We do not charge a single supplement except on extensions. Where it is operationally possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to guarantee single accommodation for the whole tour; where this is the case further information and prices can be found in the Trip Notes. If you would like a single room or tent on a particular holiday you should contact the office for details. Where we are unable to guarantee single accommodation you may be able to arrange and pay for it locally. If you are a smoker we ask you not to smoke in your room or tent if sharing. Please note on certain trips single accommodation is not available due to local operational conditions.

Food
Meal plans vary according to area and circumstances: for every trip, details of what is included are shown in the Food section of each trip, and in the Trip Notes.

Transport
All necessary transport during the trip is included, whether private or public.

Sightseeing
Included wherever it is part of the itinerary (as stated in the Trip Notes). There are usually optional trips too.

Staff
On all trips we provide a leader or local representative, assisted by local guides, drivers and any other staff as appropriate. Leaders usually meet the group locally.

Permits, taxes, and entrance fees
We include in the cost of the holiday or in the stated local payment all necessary local permits, taxes, and entrance fees to National Parks or sites that are part of the itinerary, except for the Kilimanjaro Government Tax, Gorilla Permits and certain Galapagos taxes.

Any meals and other food not included in the meal plan, visas, vaccinations, travel insurance, foreign airport taxes where not included in the price of the ticket, sleeping bags and other personal equipment, sleeping mats on most camping trips, entrance to historical sites if not specified in the Trip Notes, extra optional excursions and any personal expenditure such as laundry, drinks and tips.
