Camel trekking through South Sinai

We love to hear your stories from the desert and particularly enjoyed this account of a recent journey through South Sinai in March 2013:

“I travelled to Egypt with a group of people all loosely connected to the girl’s old school. We flew in to Sharm el-Sheikh on a Thomson’s plane full of package holidaymakers but were whisked away into the desert to camp out under the stars as soon as we arrived.

We were accompanied a British guide, as well as an Egyptian, who had worked together and travelled with the school group many times, so we benefited from both their great camaraderie and their experience.” Read the full blog.

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

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.”

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.”
