More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun leans low over the West Bank mountains and the desert air cools as you settle into the saddle of a quadbike. Sand softens beneath the tyres; the River Nile glints faintly east of your track. For roughly one and a half hours of guided riding you push along wind-sculpted ridges, stop at rocky outcrops and watch light crawl across ancient slopes where the pharaohs once organized tomb-building and funerary processions.
