Spend two hours on the back of a dromedary through the open sands around Sharm el-Sheikh. This guided camel ride combines practical transfers, a short desert loop, and a Bedouin camp visit for a compact, authentic desert encounter.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You swing up over a warm, single hump as the desert opens: a low-slung horizon, winded ridges of sand and broken limestone, and the faint ribbon of the Red Sea far to the east. The camel rocks forward with a slow, patient gait, pushing you into the rhythm of the Sinai, sunlight sharpening every shadow.

Shield up for the sun
Bring a wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and UV sunglasses—shade is limited and reflected heat intensifies mid-afternoon.
Wear secure footwear
Closed, supportive shoes or low hiking boots keep feet protected when mounting and walking the sandy, sometimes rocky terrain.
Hydrate before and after
Carry at least 1–1.5 L of water in a small daypack; even a two-hour ride in hot months depletes fluids faster than you expect.
Respect local customs
Tip in local currency if you join a camp visit, ask before photographing people, and follow your guide’s safety briefing.
Sun hat or buff
Blocks direct sun during mid-day rides and reduces heat exposure.
