Egypt Nature Retreat: Mountainous Getaway for Swimming and Relaxation

Hosted by

Mai

Guided trip
Hello! I am Mai Adel Haiker and an Egyptian mountain climber, the only one who climbed the 10 highest peaks in Egypt. I also climbed more than 70 mountains around the world and hiked in South Sinai, all of them with high experience in their paths. I also walked other tracks in Egypt and abroad. About the trip: I chose for you one of the most beautiful places that I like to visit very much. I think you will like it too. We will take advantage of the weekend and try to catch the berries and apricots season in St. Catherine, South Sinai. The path is gardens until we come to a lake in the middle of the mountains. We swim in it and relax on the surrounding rocks, accompanied by a Bedouin resident of South Sinai. It will be a great excursion for hikers of a level of fitness. We will meet on Thursday at 12 am at the Baron's Palace, and we will move at 1 o'clock, dressed in hike clothes. The first day: We arrive in the morning, put our luggage on the camels, and move directly. We will tack our breakfast at a spring of cold water. We'll sweeten ourselves with berries straight from the tree. Then we continue walking to a beautiful Bedouin garden. We'll have lunch there and have apricots. Then we move on to the pomegranate bed. We will have dinner and overnight in a simple Bedouin garden, of course. After a pleasant evening around the fire there and build our camp by ourselves to stay a lovely night under the stars. On the second day: we wake up active and energetic. We will tack our breakfast and drink delicious Bedouin tea. We will move to the Valley of the Big Hill, one of the most beautiful valleys of Katherine, thick with trees until we reach the El Galt Al Azrak. Here comes swimming in the water among the rocks and relaxation. We have lunch and then continue the trip to Saqr Canyon, there we will have dinner. And we start by building camp in a Bedouin garden on our second night of course after spending the night under the stars The third day: We wake up in the morning with optimism, break our fast, and start this quickly so that we can catch up and go to see Kharazat Al Shaq, which is one of the most beautiful places where water is collected when we have it. They come back. We will return to Catherine and say our goodbyes before speeding off to Cairo on the promise of returning again I will need a TripMates of friends who love nature, wilderness, hiking, simplicity, and camping under the stars.
