Enjoy our first morning in the desert with fresh baked bread and Bedouin tea
Drive to the base of Serabit El Khadem. The temple was first a Pharonic temple, built by the Egyptian turquoise miners to the ancient goddess Hathor. In later years, it was also used by the Hexos people as a place of worship.
Walk to the top of Serabit El Khadem using the Hexus road (about 1.5 hours). Some time to explore the ruins, then lunch while we enjoy the views.

Ein JurgaDay 3: Passage to Ein Jurga, by camel
Today is an incredible day. Even someone who has been to the Sinai many times will be amazed by the places you will go!
In Arabic, the word for a path up a mountain is Naggup. We ascend the Tih using Naggup Rawegna.
Along the way, there is a cave. Long ago it was used in the winter months by the Bedouin for shelter from rain and cold. Lunch.
After lunch, continue up Wadi Rawegna to Ein Jurga. Ein Jurga is a large deep pond, fed by a natural spring. The spring will be our first water after 3 days of traveling - so you will know the feeling of finding water after a long time in the desert!!
Dinner and camp at Ein Jurga.
Day 4: Ein Jurga to Ein Abu Miteygna, by camelEin Abu Metegna
We spend today trekking from oasis to oasis.
First, Wadi Naga to Ein Abu Hameyta, a palm tree oasis names after the fig trees that grow here. Lunch & rest.
For the afternoon, our camels will go one way and we go another. Our route takes us through 1 km of deep canyon - incredible for us but difficult for the camels. Even at the height of summer, there is a small river running through this canyon.
We meet again at Ein Abu Mitaygna - another palm tree oasis. You will be amazed at how much fresh water the desert holds!
Dinner & camp above Ein Abu Mitaygna.
Day 5: Ein Miteygna to Wadi Lareesh, by camel
Today is a long trek. In total, we cover 25km, but it won't feel like you've walked that far. The pace is easy, and there are lots of tea breaks to keep us going.
Morning trek to Wadi Algsheeta, where we find wells and a spring.
Lunch in Ein Algsheeta.
Wadi Lareesh CampsiteAfter lunch, join the ancient road to Wadi Lareesh. This wadi is full of Tarfa trees - so many that the name for this wadi means 'forest'!
