Safaris

Experience with us the incredible beauty of the Sinai. Roam through miles of sand dunes, enjoy the colorfulness of the rock, marvel at the play of light and shadow and explore the life of the desert. We try to integrate the local Bedouins into our program. Because they are still the rulers of the desert and support us with their experiences.

WELCOME TO OUR SAFARIS

We are happy to take you on the adventures that the desert has to offer. Years of experience make us the perfect companion. You can find more about the different safaris and hikes below.

MOUNT MOSES AND SAINT CATHERINE'S MONASTERY

Explore with us the summit of the Holy Moses Mountain at 2,285 meters above sea level and visit St. Catherine's Monastery with religious sites such as the Burning Bush, the Church of the Transfiguration and the Moses Fountain.

1/4

The monastery, now Greek Orthodox, was founded around 550 and is the oldest Christian monastery still inhabited. According to tradition, this is the site of the burning bush in which God revealed himself to Moses. According to legend, touching it brings good luck. The bones of St. Catherine of Alexandria, brought here by an angel, are also said to rest here. In addition, there are works of art and a collection of Byzantine icons in the monastery.

AROUND DAHAB

Come with us to the Wadi Gnai - quasi our small house Wadi - or else to the Hinkelstone-Wadi. The oases are still the home of the Bedouins and always a special experience.

1/4

Wadi Gnai is a small oasis and behind the front door of Sunsplash, so to speak. Walk through a calming landscape, into a palm grove and abandoned Bedouin gardens. Since there is water in Wadi Gnai, it is always green here and once it has rained, you can see a variety of desert flowers blooming.

Good footwear is recommended, as some minor climbing is on the program. This tour can be extended depending on your condition.

CANYONS

White Canyon and Little Coloured Canyon are just two of many examples of the fascinating world of canyons located in the Sinai highlands. The rock formations are unparalleled. Beautiful colors and fascinating rocks created by wind erosion amaze anew with every visit.

1/3

The tour starts at the Bedouins of the oasis Ain Hudra. There, camels are waiting to be ridden for about an hour to the entrance of the White Canyon. The spectacular entrance is manageable by everyone, but requires a bit of courage. Once in the canyon, the trail continues through snow-white desert sand, past red rocks jagged by the wind. After a rest, the way back leads over a pass and past a rock on which ancient inscriptions can be admired.

1/4

Little Colored Canyon, also called Red Canyon, is located not far from White Canyon and is often visited together.

Even though it is only small, it enchants with its variety of colors. The sandstone, colored green by copper, yellow by sulfur or red by iron, alternates constantly. there are the countless columns, turrets and tiny caves into which the wind has transformed the soft sandstone. But at some point it is time to tear yourself away, get back into the jeep and continue the day's tour.

So many other beauties of the Sinai are waiting for you!

SINAI HIGHLANDS

Whether by camel or on foot, the Sinai offers so many different ways to explore. The big and the small Machrum are wonderful rock formations, the Nawamis are probably tombs from the Copper Age.

1/6

The tour starts in a spacious green wadi off the beaten track. It is surrounded by the colorful hill ranges typical of the Sinai.

Between stony hills a large sand dune awaits you, through a narrow stony wadi the safari then continues onto large sandy areas lined with small hill ranges, canyons and the rocky caves of Machrum. Over a small sand dune it is possible to enter the cave of the great Machrum. From the rest area the hike continues to three most colorful canyons.

1/7

From Ain Khudra you can reach the Nawamis by camel in 40 minutes. The structures made of sandstone slabs are about 2.5 meters high and have a diameter of 3 to 6 meters. Their openings are all oriented exactly to the west.

They are believed to be tombs from the Copper Age (4000 - 3150 BC). After the visit there is a break and the Bedouin guide invites to freshly baked bread and refreshing tea in the desert. Strengthened, we continue to the inscription rocks of Ain Khudra, which are located on the former pilgrimage route.
