Tour Add-Ons of Egypt & Sinai

“The weird solitude, the great silence, the grim desolation, are the very things
with which every desert wanderer falls in love.”
The Desert / John C. Van Dyke 1901

Our tour Add-Ons of Egypt & Sinai are a great and easy way to visit the more extraordinary attractions. Take a short glance at these popular add-ons to see how a few extra hours
can make a world of difference to your tour

Visiting Luxor

As the site of the Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, Luxor has frequently been characterized
as the “world’s greatest open-air museum”, as the ruins of the temple complexes at
Karnak and Luxor stand within the modern city. Immediately opposite, across the River Nile,
lie the monuments, temples and tombs of the West Bank Necropolis, which includes
the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens.
Luxor is a must to be included in a tour to Egypt.

Visiting Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel is a temple complex, originally cut into a solid rock cliff, in southern
Egypt and located at the second cataract of the Nile River. The two temples which comprise the site (The Great Temple and The Small Temple) were created during the reign of Ramesses II. The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary or they would have been submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser.

Climbing Mt. Sinai & visit St. Catherine Monastery
Mount Sinai is believed to be the biblical ’Mount Horeb’, the mountain on which Mosses received the Ten Commandments.
It is one of the Highest Mountain in the Sinai Peninsula and a very popular attraction. Visitors to Mount Sinai traditionally
walk up the mountain in time for the sunrise; this tradition began hundreds of years ago with the first intrepid travelers
visiting there and continues on to this day. The spectacular views from the summit are legendary and as the sun casts its
first light across the mountain peaks it is easy to see why the mountain is so revered.
St Catherine’s’ Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in Christianity. The monastery is a walled fortress that was built
around the ’Burning Bush’ between the years 548-565 AD. Despite its rich and eventful history Saint Catherine’s monastery
was never destroyed and is a remarkably well preserved historic site.

 

 

Camel tour in the Sand Stone area of Sinai
To really experience spirit of the desert we must leave the 4×4 behind and take a more
traditional kind of journey, by camel. We board the most authentic and reliable form of
desert transportation – the camel. This ancient desert wanderer allows us to
experience the desert environment in the most magical and fun possible way.
Suitable for all ages

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snorkeling in the Red Sea
To be combined with your Sinai tour.
The Sinai coast line is without doubt one of the best snorkeling destinations in the world.
Protected from the ocean currents, the waters of the Red Sea are particularly calm and enjoy
high temperatures. These conditions have led to the development of a wealth of undersea life,
dominated by hard and soft coral, and with a high percentage of species only to be found here.
With over 200 species of coral, over 1000 species of fish and 1000 species of invertebrates,
the waters of the Red Sea offer an endless spectacle to visitors

this beautiful wilderness. In this area we find the delicate rock formations of the southern
Mt. Baraka and enjoy the breathtaking views from the top of the highest sand dunes in Sinai.
We visit the ancient tribal cemetery of Nawamis (4000 BC), the ‘Rock of Inscriptions’ and the beautiful ‘Hollow Mountain’
