Itinerary

In the early morning, enjoy cozy prompt pickup from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, taking your seat in the air-conditioned vehicle. As we leave the city behind, enjoy the changing scenery as the turquoise waters of the Red Sea give way to the rugged, majestic mountains of the Sinai.

The real adventure kicks off as we transition into a rugged 4x4 Jeep. We head off the paved roads and deep into the heart of the desert wilderness. Feel the adrenaline as your experienced driver navigates the sandy terrain and rocky tracks, providing a front-row seat to the raw beauty of the desert.

Arrive at the entrance of the Colored Canyon. Led by an expert guide, you will begin a moderate hike through the narrow, winding passages. We take frequent stops at the most iconic formations, ensuring you capture the perfect shot of this "Grand Canyon of the Sinai.

Emerging from the canyon, we take a moment to disconnect and immerse ourselves in authentic desert culture. Visit a local Bedouin tent to enjoy their legendary hospitality. Sip on traditional herbal tea and learn about the customs and daily life of the people who have called this desert home for centuries.

We leave the deep desert and head to the charming coastal town of Dahab. Enjoy a delicious local lunch at a seaside restaurant, where the mountains meet the sea. After lunch, we transfer back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.

We spent three days and four nights on a Dahabiya cruise with our guide Abdullah — it was an amazing experience, both fascinating and relaxing. The whole crew went above and beyond to make us comfortable, the boat was beautiful, and Abdullah’s tours were clear, engaging, and often funny. We had a wonderful time and now recommend this cruise to all our friends!

Great service. We had a wonderful time. Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car. Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days. Would highly recommend.

We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada. Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert! The overnight stays were all planned in great detail. It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days! A huge thank you to Akram!

We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
