Stretching 550 km, launched in 2015, it’s led by eight Bedouin tribes. Trek it at your own pace—with camels, natural springs, and award-winning desert landscapes. Next: Nuweiba’s Coloured Canyon—an 800 m labyrinth of vivid sandstone etched by the Red Sea. After your hike, relax at Basata Eco-Lodge with a Bedouin feast and stellar stargazing. Ready to reach new heights? Mt. Catherine, Egypt’s tallest peak at 2,645 m, offers an isolated and adrenaline-packed ascent—about 5 to 6 hours to the top for breathtaking views. Or wander the Sahara Desert, exploring the White Desert, Black Desert, Crystal Mountain—or even the fossil-rich Valley of the Whales, a UNESCO site. Ideal between October and early May, this is a true desert odyssey. From sacred mountain summits to surreal coastal hikes and fossil-filled valleys—Egypt’s hiking trails blend nature, culture, and adventure. Ready to explore?
