Day one
Crossing the Taba border into Sinai we board our jeeps and begin our journey to the heart of the picturesque Sinai desert. Having reached the Sandstone area we leave the road for a breathtaking 4X4 adventure through this beautiful wilderness. In this area we find the delicate rock formations of the southern Mt. Baraka and enjoy the breathtaking views from the top of nearby sand dunes, the highest in Sinai. We visit the ancient tribal cemetery of Nawamis (4000 BC), the 'Rock of Inscriptions' and the unusual 'Hollow Mountain', as the sun goes down we settle for the evening at an authentic Bedouin camp near the Ein Hudra oasis. Here we enjoy traditional Bedouin hospitality and join the Bedouins in their evening meal before settling down for the night.
Day two
We board the most authentic and reliable form of desert transportation - the camel. This ancient desert wanderer allows us to experience the desert environment in the most magical and fun possible way. We begin the day in the oasis of Ein Hudra before riding and walking through the most scenic canyons and Wadis in the area. Stopping on the way for tea and a Bedouin herder's picnic lunch, which includes pita bread prepared on the campfire. Returning around sunset to the road and our transport back to Eilat.
