Destinations - Wind Sand & Stars

destinations

Wind Sand & Stars began many years ago in the deserts of South Sinai. Working closely with the Bedouin tribes, we developed strong partnerships and made life-long friends as together we welcomed visitors and shared our love of the desert and its people.

More recently we have used our expertise to travel to carefully chosen new destinations, each offering a unique and special experience in keeping with our passion for authentic, personal and sustainable journeys. Whether travelling through neighbouring Jordan or highlands of Ethiopia, we have built strong working relationships with the local people who offer us their warm hospitality and an insight into their traditional ways of life.

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.”

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.

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!

“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.”
