With a desert safari, get into the Sinai wilderness and witness a different side of Dahab's attractions. Ride over golden sands, explore ancient canyons, and drink tea with Bedouins under the stars — this is just one of the many ways to experience Egypt's cultural diversity, adventure and natural beauty all at once by the Red Sea.
The Call of the Sinai Desert
Dahab, the resort nestled between the Red Sea and the majestic mountains of Sinai, was surprisingly in the 3rd position in the Ranking of Best Egyptian Destinations in the World. On the other side of the water, however, the Sinai Desert offers the same breathtaking experience of a natural wonderland through its diverse and beautiful scenery.
Thrills on Four Wheels
Nothing is more thrilling than taking a 4x4 or quad-bike safari in Dahab, where you can fully appreciate the incredible and rough beauty of the spot. Traverse across the plains, over dunes, and along the sandy trails, with the Red Sea sparkling in the distance. Most of the guided tours include the opportunities to take photos, partake in Bedouin tea, and enjoy the mountain and valley views.
The Magic of the Canyons
Among the numerous breathtaking spots in the vicinity of Dahab, you will find some of the most stunning natural formations in the Sinai Peninsula. The Coloured Canyon and White Canyon are irresistibly attractive — sculpted by wind and water into swirling layers of rock that are vibrant with reds, yellows, and pinks. Wandering through these narrow paths gives you the feeling of walking through nature's own gallery showcasing her creations.
A Taste of Bedouin Life
A desert safari would not be but complete without meeting the Bedouins who inhabit the deserts and mountainous regions of the Sinai Peninsula. Travelers can partake of the same diet as the Bedouins and take part in their daily activities, such as feeding the flock of birds that follows them, or even riding camels over the dunes. The moment you arrive in their camp, you will be greeted with coffee or tea, and a midnight lullaby will only be disturbed by the rare moments you hear the wind howling.
Sunset and Stargazing
An evening during a Dahab desert safari is one of the most enchanting experiences one could ever have. First, watch the sunset turn the mountains into fire, then continue for stargazing in a place where no artificial light can reach. The Milky Way over your head is blazing bright, and it is one of the most unforgettable nights that you will ever be blessed to have in Egypt.
Conclusion
The Dahab desert safari is not just an adventure; it is a trip to the natural heart of Egypt. Dahab is a place where the real beauty of the Red Sea can be filmed both above and under the water, thanks to its breathtaking scenery, rich Bedouin culture, and calmness.
