Your Journey
7 Days of Azure Waters, Desert Dunes & Ancient Heights
Day 1
Arrival & Red Sea Sanctuary
Touch down at Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, where a private driver provides a fast-track greeting and escort to your luxury beachfront retreat. Settle into your suite at Rixos Sharm El Sheikh, surrounded by lush gardens, private swimming pools, and uninterrupted views of the Red Sea. Spend a restorative afternoon enjoying the resort's private beach and revitalizing spa facilities.
Day 2
Ras Mohammed Underwater Marine Reserve
Board a private marine charter bound for Ras Mohammed National Park, Egypt's premier underwater sanctuary at the tip of the peninsula. Spend the day diving or snorkeling alongside resident marine specialists, exploring sheer wall drop-offs, vibrant coral gardens, and schools of tropical marine life. Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch served on board before returning to your resort.
Day 3
Sinai Dunes & Bedouin Desert Evening
Take the morning to unwind along the shore before setting out into the interior Sinai desert in the afternoon. Drive high-powered quad bikes across golden sand dunes, followed by a quiet camel trek into a secluded mountain valley. As night falls, gather at a private Bedouin camp for a traditional open-fire barbecue feast, live folk music, and stargazing under pristine desert skies.
Day 4
Dahab Coastal Transition & The Colored Canyon
Check out of your resort and travel along the coast toward the bohemian coastal town of Dahab. En route, venture inland via 4x4 to explore the swirling red and yellow sandstone walls of the Colored Canyon. Continue to Dahab, check into your coastal suite at Safir Dahab Resort, and enjoy a late afternoon camel walk along the water's edge.
Day 5
St. Catherine’s Monastery & Mount Sinai Foothills
Depart early into the high granite heart of the Sinai mountain range to visit St. Catherine’s Monastery, one of the world's oldest working monastic sanctuaries. Explore the Church of the Transfiguration, the Chapel of the Burning Bush, and the gallery of ancient icons with a private historian. Take an optional hike along the historic trails near the base of Mount Sinai before returning to Dahab for an evening of rest.
Day 6
The Blue Hole Depths & Dahab Waterfront
Journey to the world-renowned Blue Hole, a natural submarine sinkhole plunging into deep azure waters. Dive or snorkel along the outer reef wall to view immense coral formations and kaleidoscopic marine life. Spend the late afternoon and evening at your leisure, exploring Dahab's vibrant seafront promenade, artisan shops, and relaxed open-air cafes.
Day 7
Final Coastal Moments & Departure
Enjoy a final, unhurried morning along the Gulf of Aqaba. Recline by the pool, swim in the calm lagoon, or pick up local silver jewelry and spices along Dahab's waterfront. Your private driver provides an executive transfer back to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport for your onward flight, concluding your journey across the sea and mountains of Sinai.
