And the unexpected bonus of the trekking in Sinai is seeing how your Bedouin guides move through their desert home. Taking people on safari is more than a way to earn a living for the guides – it’s their way of sharing a small piece of the Bedouin life with the world.

The Desert stretches over the east side of the Sinai and is best known for its twisting canyons, towering outcrops and wide open horizons. Its mountains are mostly sandstone peaks, different in appearance – and in actual climbing – to the high granite districts of St Katherine and Wadi Feiran. As much as the scenery, trekking feels different here because of the camels. The lack of water in this part of the Sinai dictates their necessity and they stay with you from start to finish. Travelling like this over a number of days gives the best feel for the old, wandering ways of the Bedouin.
