About 1.5 hour drive to Wadi Arada and Fraej's family - friends of ours still living the traditional Bedouin life

Spend the afternoon exploring the Double Canyon & having some fun on the sand dune

Dinner with Fraej's family & relax

About midnight, leave for Mt Sinai.

Day 2: Mt Sinai-St Katherine monastery-Wadi Arada-El Guna Plateau
Climb Mt Sinai through the night (about 3.5 hours). Arrive at the top in plenty of time to watch the sunrise.

Descend in the morning light, taking time to visit St Katherine monastery

About 10am, drive back to Wadi Arada

An early lunch and rest in Wadi Arada, then it's time to meet our camels! Camels on the El Guna Plateau

Load up the camels, quick lesson in camel driving, then it's off to the top of the El Gona Plateau

Spend the afternoon treking along the plateau, enjoying yet more stunning views! The pace on this first day is relaxed with longer rest breaks, as you'll be a bit tired after climbing Mt Sinai.

Dinner & camp on the plateau - our million star hotel!

Days 3 & 4: El Guna-Ein Khudra-Dahab
Ein Khudra Oasis close up
The 3rd and 4th days are spent exploring the wadis descending from the plateau, finally arriving in Ein Khudra oasis.

Ein Khudra is a small Bedouin settlement, so it's a beautiful place to spend some time relaxing and taking in a bit of the Bedouin life.
On the afternoon of our 4th day, hike back to the road from Ein Khudra, meet our taxi and return to Dahab.
