Camel Ride & Bedouin Tea — Sharm El Sheikh

Overview

When the Sinai heat softens toward evening, this easy two-hour outing trades the beach for the desert behind Sharm El Sheikh. You are collected from your hotel and driven a short way inland to a Bedouin camel station at the foot of the mountains, where a calm, well-handled camel carries you at walking pace along a sandy track into the hills. There is no rush and no experience needed - the ride is gentle enough for first-timers and children, and a handler stays with the animals throughout. As the sun drops behind the peaks and the rock turns copper and rose, you pause at a simple Bedouin tent for a glass of sweet, sage-scented shai brewed over coals, a moment to sit on cushions, take in the silence and watch the colours change over the Sinai. It is a short, photogenic taste of desert life rather than a full safari, perfect as a sunset add-on to a beach holiday, with hotel pickup and drop-off, a guide and all equipment included so all you need to bring is a camera. Warm layers are worth packing, as the desert cools quickly once the sun is down.
