Sinai Camel Treks are multi-faceted, combining camel trekking with more traditional sightseeing in and around Cairo
and Giza. We offer a camel trek of either 3 days/2 nights or 4 days/3 nights, another day for a morning climb of Mt.
Sinai and exploring the Monastery of St. Katherine and take two days to enjoy guided tours of the Sphinx and Pyramids
of Giza, the Egyptian Museum where King Tut's treasures are kept, the Al Azhar mosque and the Khan el Khalili market.
Call or email today for detailed information package.
