jeep safari and camel trek around mount sanai
jeep safari and bedouin camp experience
hi fellow travelers ,my experience on a day trip around the sinaithe day starts at 7am when you are picked up from your hotel,in a jeep / land rover a couple of stops along the way to pick up some people and were off.
it takes about and hour to reach the dessert then the fun begins.
the once careful driver turns it to a madman skidding ,going over bumps up and down the dunes the woman are screaming in the back and he loves it ,,,but its all safe ,after an hour of this we stop at a Bedouin camp,were we all wonder about for a while catch some sun,chill for a bit ,there are a few items for sale ,scarfs,Bedouin tea ,bracelets and home made hand carved crafts.
after your little wander.you are asked by the guide to relax under the shelter were he explains the day ahead and shares some stories about the Bedouins in a lovely relaxed atmosphere.
snorkeling and camel trek
now were on our way to dahab for part 2 ,this part of the journey last about an hour but there all brand new roads so it is very comfy, just outside dahab we stop at a snorkeling shop, to hire all the gear ,this is a good move as it saves you lumbering bags round all day, the whole set up wetsuit,goggles,mask,flippers .was only £8...£10 ,bargain.,then down the road for,the bit i had been most looking forward to the most,the camel ride.
arriving at dahab there were approx 50 camels, so you picked the one you liked then off you go, you all travel in convoy i loved this bit, the.riding along the beach ,you could see saudi arabia across the water this could have lasted longer about an hour .
then down to the beach for some snorkling, apart from the camel ride the whole day was at your own pace,so after a couple of hours snorkling we were told food had been laid on (no charge)..we had mixed meats and salads bit like what you get at the hotel,,,,,so after a good scoff we mooched around the shops for a bit before heading back .
we did stop at a little market on the way home but we were all so tired we never stayed long,so we started to head home a lovely journey home driving through the mountains,
all in all a fantastic and highly recommended day out all for agout £30.00.
