Things to do in Red Sea and Sinai, Egypt: The Best Walking Tours

October 23, 2021 Janette Largent

Traditional attitudes prevail in the historic Sinai region on Egypt's border with Israel. The triangular peninsula is divided from the rest of Egypt by the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Craggy mountains, including 7500-foot Mount Sinai, plunge down to the waters of the Red Sea. Spectacular snorkeling and diving sites beckon from the Gulf of Aqaba to the east of the peninsula, particularly along the dramatic coastline of Na'ama Bay in Sharm el Sheikh. Camelback safaris offer distinctive desert excursions.

The monastery was open but not the churches due to covid. We were allowed to enter to see the biblical burning bush. The well were moses met his wife. It was such a beautiful spot. The hike up the mountain took 2 hours. It is not an easy hike and luckily there were a few Bedouin huts open for snacks and drink. The hike is tough as you get close to the top. It is well worth the trip

Where to begin? Never felt this specialness, the place, the teacher, the organisation of Embah travel. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Being in the desert with no noises of cars no light pollution, doing yoga and meditation at sunrise, and sunset, sleeping in the tent or under the stars with food soo delicious and made with love from Ehab. I myself found it so special that I have booked again for October 2020 and this time not only for the yoga but a trek to climb a mountain in the Sinai. I hope Covid 19 allows us to travel. No place more safe then once out there in the desert.
