The camel walk begins with a pick-up from Dahab and a short drive into the Sinai’s scrubby edge, where camels are saddled and the sea sits like a cool horizon. Riders climb into a slow rhythm—camels rocking, gulls wheeling, and the desert wind pushing the caravan toward a ribbon of sand where dune meets surf.
