More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive in a cool minivan and step onto a sun-baked corral where the desert flattens into a pale plain and the Sinai mountains loom like slow-moving walls. Your guide fits a saddle, a camel lifts its head and the quiet of the sand replaces the buzz of Naama Bay. The animal pulls you forward; the desert seems to test your pace and then fall into step with you.
