Arrive at Cairo International airport. An arrival transfer from the airport to the hotel is included. Join your fellow passengers and Trip Leader in the evening for a group meeting to learn more about the trip.

 

Day 2 Cairo - Dahab.

We depart this morning for the Sinai Peninsula, stopping en-route for lunch. We arrive and check into our hotel, our home for the next four days. (B)

 

Days 3-6 Dahab.

Four days lie ahead to enjoy at leisure. Swimming, snorkelling, water sports and relaxation are all on hand, and the local diving centre can rent equipment and help you locate the best dive spots in the Red Sea. On land, experience the thrill of a desert safari on quad bikes or camels, while at night the fire-lit seafood eateries are tempting for dinner. Why not take advantage of an optional trip to climb Mt Sinai, where at dawn you can witness the spectacular sunrise, blanketing the surrounding peaks in gold and unveiling one of Egypt's most unforgettable views. In the morning after descending to the valley floor, we visit the Monastery of St Catherine, which has been the base of the Monastic Order since the 4th Century. We then return back to the beach at Dahab. (B) (B) (B) (B)
