Rock Climb, Hike and Snorkel in Egypt

Your host will meet you on arrival at the airport in Sharm El-Sheikh and transfer you to your hotel in Dahab. Laid-back and low-rise, Dahab is Sinai's diving and adventure mecca, boasting golden beaches, a vibrant atmosphere and great local restaurants. Settle in, meet your fellow travellers and grab a bite in town if you wish. Then enjoy a good night's sleep and get ready for the epic desert adventure to come.

This morning, you'll get set up with your kit before heading to the nearby Wadi Gnai by jeep. An accessible climbing paradise of glowing granite mountains dotted with acacia and date palm trees, you'll get to grips with the equipment and learn basic safety and climbing techniques. If you're a pro already, you'll get the chance to climb independently in the Camel Canyon (4b-7b single pitch). Finish off your morning with lunch in the wadi before heading to Three Pools, a favourite local hangout, for snorkelling. Drift along the outside of the reef table, swimming amongst the richly colourful marine life of the Red Sea. Back at the hotel, enjoy a bit of time to chill before joining your group again for dinner and a full briefing on tomorrow's activities.

Today you'll hit some new climbing routes in a more remote area of the Sinai Desert, building on your skills. Drive out of Dahab on a scenic and adventurous off-road transfer to Wadi Hammam, a beautiful rose granite canyon, to a climbing area with some shade and plenty of routes for both novices and more experienced climbers to progress along. At the end of your day, embrace the nomadic Bedouin lifestyle by helping your guides cook dinner on the fire, later falling asleep tucked into warm blankets or your sleeping bag, under the star-studded desert sky.

Wake up to the smell of coffee and fresh bread cooked on the fire, then set off on a spectacular hike through the desert. Climb gently uphill leaving the canyon behind you, heading towards spectacular sandstone outcrops surrounded by soft golden sand. Bedouin guides and camels will carry your supplies and bags to the next camping spot near Jebel Barqa and Makhroum. On the coldest nights, there is also a shallow sandstone cave providing shelter for a cosy night in the wilderness. Dinner is served in the dunes, with the vastness and silence of the desert providing a dramatic backdrop.

This morning, you'll explore more of this sandstone area on foot, visiting Jebel Makhroum and Mattamir, then onwards to the top of El Hadudeh dune, Sinai's largest sand dune. After lunch, enjoy a fun scramble down El Hadudeh, followed by a scenic leisurely walk through Wadi El Ajabi, before hopping in the support vehicles to drive to Ras Abu Galum. Time permitting, jump straight into the crystal clear waters for a quick dip. Enjoy a blissful night stargazing and camping in simple beach huts by the Red Sea.

Spend a full day exploring the coastline and waters of Ras Abu Galum, a bedouin settlement wedged between soaring desert mountains and the beautiful coral reef in a protected area of the Gulf of Aqaba. Enjoy a morning snorkelling the stunning coral reef and relaxing in Bedouin beach cafes or take an optional walk to the Blue Lagoon, a stunning and remote spot famed for its stunning water. In the afternoon, head out on a hike or camel ride to the famed Blue Hole, one of the most famous snorkelling and diving sites in the world. Back in Dahab, tonight's farewell Bedouin dinner will be a social and hearty affair.

After an action-packed week, today is all about chilling and soaking up the sun on Dahab beach. Alternatively, make the most of your day with some extra snorkelling or soothe your muscles with a local massage. Travel back to Sharm El Sheikh late afternoon for goodbyes and flights home (or, you may wish to extend your stay - this adventure mecca is known for its diving, bouldering and other activities).
