Hiking Adventure in the Heart of Cairo
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.

Overview
Embark on a thrilling 6-hour hiking adventure through Wadi Degla, a majestic gorge that links Cairo to the Red Sea. Hiking through Degla doesn't entail a long road, making it an ideal escape for those in Cairo longing to disconnect from the city hustle for a few hours. Wadi Degla boasts an array of trails catering to different skill levels; whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, there's a trail tailored just for you. During our expedition, we will ascend the left side of the canyon, reach its pinnacle, and then descend a few meters to explore the intriguing bats' cave. Afterward, we'll continue our descent until we reach the canyon's base, trekking for several kilometers. Ascending again, we'll conquer the right side of the canyon, and from there, we'll begin our journey back. The return trip offers flexibility; the group can either opt for a challenging descent to the canyon's floor or a leisurely stroll towards the exit, tailored to the energy levels of the participants.

Mohammed was such a great guide and person. This was my favorite tour while being in Cairo. We had the entire park to ourselves and it was very special. I would recommend to anyone that wants to get out of the city and see the desert.
Hiking in Cairo is an unforgettable experience. The landscape changes underfoot with spectacular vistas. Hassan was awesome and helped guide the way. Close to Cairo and did 19kms of hiking.
I had a great time. The tour guide (Mohamed Hassan) is very nice and attentive. The view from the top is beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.
