Trade the coast for the raw Eastern Desert on a private 4WD safari into the dramatic wadis and dunes surrounding Ain Sokhna. As darkness falls, a Bedouin camp hosts you for a candlelit dinner under a sky blazing with stars — otherworldly and unforgettable.
What to expect
Your private guide collects you at port and heads into the ochre Eastern Desert, navigating dramatic limestone canyons and sand seas. Stops for panoramic photography and camel interaction break the journey. At sunset, a Bedouin camp materialises — hand-woven rugs, shisha, star maps, and a feast of grilled meats, mezze, and fresh bread baked on an open fire. The silence out here is profound.
Good to know
Best suited to an evening all-aboard; confirm your ship's schedule. The terrain is bumpy — dress comfortably in layers (desert nights are cool). Closed shoes recommended. A private tour allows complete flexibility on timing and itinerary depth.
