Overview
A five-hour desert safari from Sharm El Sheikh to the valley of Wadi Qunai and the sheltered Three Pools near Dahab, with a guide and lunch included.
Between Sharm El Sheikh and Dahab the mountains of South Sinai come down almost to the sea, and this trip takes you in among them. We pick you up from your hotel and drive north along the coast road, then turn off towards the desert valley of Wadi Qunai.
Wadi Qunai is a quiet valley framed by rugged granite, its colours shifting from rust to gold as the sun moves. Your guide stops so you can walk a little, take photographs and enjoy the stillness. From there it's a short way to the Three Pools on the coast south of Dahab, natural lagoons sheltered by the reef where the water is shallow, clear and calm.
Lunch is included, with time to swim or relax by the water before the return to Sharm El Sheikh, about five hours after pickup. It's a shared small-group trip that suits families.
Highlights
- The desert valley of Wadi Qunai
- Rust and gold granite walls of the South Sinai mountains
