Our journeys - Wind Sand & Stars

specialist historical & spiritual journeys

Wind Sand & Stars began in the beautiful desert and mountains of South Sinai and, over the last twenty-five years, have worked with local partners in carefully chosen destinations to offer a distinctive, authentic and personal experience.

Wherever possible we travel at a pace that allows us to connect with the landscape, its people and traditions. Our journeys venture through stunning scenery, discover ancient sites and give an insight into the lives of the local communities.

Whether for schools, adult groups, families or individuals, each journey is tailored to create a unique and memorable experience.

A unique experience and a privilege to share the Bedouin’s way of life, for a short time.

Guest, Sinai Summits, April 2019

It was the most wonderful trip, so glad I took up this opportunity. All beautifully organised – well done.

Enthralling and beyond my hopes, it was a deeply spiritual experience at many levels. I am still raving about it all to anyone who crosses my path!

“The whole trip was AMAZING – thank you so much.”

Francis Burkitt, St Catherine tailor made, August 2017

We got more out of our adventure than we had ever hoped for, thanks to a country of huge diversity and historical interest and to a very special guide.

Cunningham family, Jordan, April 2017

So many thoughts about our wonderful trip to St Catherine’s; the fantastic warmth of welcome from the Egyptians, Fathers Justin and Nilus, and the unique history which we felt privileged to be given access to. In my book, how could one not enjoy and be inspired!

Julia Palmer, St Catherine’s Retreat, February 2017

“Huge thanks to all at Wind, Sand & Stars for an amazing trip. John’s passion for Ethiopia fires his erudition and he gave us more insights into the country, past and present, than we could ever have gained from local guides.”
