Practical Information & Program Overview:

​

We will meet around 12:30 PM in El Gouna and head towards 'Wadi Billeh'. Once a flowing river, now a dried-up riverbed rich in natural beauty and history.

​

The guides will share insights about the wadi and its surroundings and will present three different ways to exit the wadi, depending on your preference and physical condition:

​

1. The 'Corridor', a challenging climb, ideal for the more athletic participants.

2. The 'Cave Route', a slightly easier hike that leads up to the higher plateau via a cave.

3. The 'Princes relaxed Option', enjoy the stunning scenery from the comfort of a 4x4 safari vehicle.

​

After a short stop at the so-called “Grand Canyon of Egypt”, we will continue either hiking or riding in a 4x4 across fossilized coral landscapes toward a 200-meter-high plateau. From here, we’ll take in the breathtaking sunset and the rising full moon.

​

At the plateau, the Ababda Bedouin team will welcome you with tea and prepare their special 'Jebena coffee', a traditional Bedouin delicacy. This aperitif is followed by a 'dinner under the stars'. The typical Bedouin menu includes: Rice with vermicelli, Mesaka’a, Marinated grilled chicken, Tahini, Flat baladi bread, Fresh vegetables and Fruit.

​

Throughout the evening, there will be moments of yoga, silence and personal meditation.

 

To complete the experience, Hassan will play music on his 'oed', a traditional Egyptian string instrument, around the bonfire.

​

The only thing you need to bring is a small bottle of water, which can be refilled during the trip. Easy walking shoes or light hiking boots. Wear comfortable clothes and for the rest something warm to put on after sunset.
