About this tour
Experience the dramatic desert canyons and world-famous coral reefs of South Sinai on this private full-day adventure from Sharm El Sheikh to Dahab and the Blue Hole Protectorate. Combining a 4x4 Sinai desert drive, a seaside camel ride along the Gulf of Aqaba, guided coral snorkeling at the Blue Hole reef wall, and a Bedouin seaside lunch, this excursion showcases Sinai's raw natural beauty.
Depart your Sharm El Sheikh resort at 07:30 in a private 4x4 or air-conditioned vehicle for the scenic 1.5-hour drive through the rugged Sinai mountains to the coastal oasis of Dahab. Ride a camel along the shore of the Abu Galum / Blue Hole coastal trail (30 minutes), then gear up with your snorkeling guide to float above the vibrant coral gardens and tropical fish along the rim of the world-renowned Blue Hole.
After a freshly grilled Bedouin lunch at a beachfront tent overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba and a brief stroll along the Dahab seafront promenade, return comfortably to your Sharm El Sheikh hotel by 17:30.
