Step by Step

Your adventure begins with pick-up from your hotel in Marsa Alam, where you will meet your desert guide. Aboard a sturdy 4×4 jeep, you'll set off into the Eastern Desert, crossing a sea of endless dunes with panoramic views of an almost lunar landscape.

Arriving at the entrance to the Wadi - the fertile area that gives the park its name - you will discover the remnants of the ancient Bedouin Ababda community. Your guide will explain how they lived, their customs and their relationship with this extreme environment. You will be able to walk along hidden paths and admire seasonal oases.

Nearby are Queen Cleopatra's emerald mines, with their perfectly preserved temple ruins and mine shafts. These gems are said to have been the most coveted in antiquity. You will explore the archaeological remains while imagining the hustle and bustle of the miners centuries ago.

After your exploration, you will pause to enjoy a traditional coffee or tea in a makeshift Bedouin camp, watching the sunset over the dunes. This moment of tranquillity will allow you to connect with the immensity of the desert.

To end this unforgettable day, you will enjoy an Egyptian dinner under the stars, where you will taste typical dishes of the region. Afterwards, your guide will take you back to your hotel, loaded with unique souvenirs of a cultural and natural safari.
