Overview

About This Trip

Wadi El Gemal — the Valley of the Camels — is Egypt's most biodiverse protected area, covering 7,450 km² of coastline, desert wadis, mangrove lagoons, and coral reef. It is one of the last places in Egypt where you feel wonderfully far from everything. History lovers will adore Berenice Troglodytica, the ruins of a Ptolemaic port city once used by ancient Rome, and Mons Smaragdus, the ancient emerald mines that produced gems for Cleopatra's jewellery. The coastal beaches are reached by gentle desert tracks, which means they are almost always blissfully deserted. Keep your camera ready for ospreys, flamingos, spoonbills, gazelles, and desert foxes. An unforgettable day for anyone who wants to see the Egypt most visitors never reach — with a driver who knows every track.
