Sharm El Sheikh Camel Ride – Experience the timeless charm of Egypt’s golden sands on this unforgettable Camel Ride & Bedouin Tea Tour in Sharm El Sheikh.

Here, ancient trails, soft dunes, and warm Bedouin hospitality create a perfect escape from modern life.

Ride gently across the desert on camelback, sip traditional Bedouin tea, bake bread the local way, and watch the sun melt into the horizon — all within a two-hour journey that captures the heart of authentic Egyptian culture.

What Awaits You on This Sharm El Sheikh Camel Ride Adventure

Hotel Pickup & Journey into the Desert

Your afternoon begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned minibus. Sit back and enjoy the scenic 30-minute drive from Sharm El Sheikh into the heart of the Sinai Desert, guided by a friendly local expert.

The further you go, the quieter it becomes — the busy resort fades into a landscape of rolling dunes and rose-tinted mountains. The desert’s silence is soothing, the light golden, and every turn of the road feels like stepping deeper into a story that’s thousands of years old.

Camel Ride Through the Golden Sands

Upon arrival, you’ll meet your camel — calm, majestic, and the perfect travel companion for the day. Guided by your Bedouin host, you’ll sway gently across the sand as your camel takes slow, steady steps through the desert’s soft terrain.

The pace allows you to take in the details — the sound of the wind brushing the dunes, the shifting colors of the rocks, and the endless horizon ahead. It’s a peaceful, almost meditative experience — one that connects you with the ancient rhythm of Bedouin life.

For many, this ride feels like a journey back in time, moving through the desert just as nomads have done for centuries.

Welcome to the Bedouin Camp — A Taste of Authentic Culture

When you reach the Bedouin camp, you’ll be greeted with the warm hospitality that defines this proud desert community. Take a seat inside a traditional tent and enjoy a cup of Habbak herbal tea, a refreshing local mint blend brewed over an open fire.

Bake Bedouin Bread Together

Here, you’ll also have the chance to learn a cherished tradition — making Bedouin bread. Watch how the dough is prepared, flattened, and baked on hot stones before being served warm. It’s a hands-on experience that offers a deeper connection to the Bedouin way of life — simple, communal, and full of respect for nature.

While you sip your tea, your hosts will share stories of their ancestors, their nomadic lifestyle, and how they thrive in one of the most beautiful yet challenging landscapes on Earth.

Sunset over the Sinai Mountains

As the day begins to fade, climb a nearby hill for the best view of the sunset over Wadi Mander Valley. The sky transforms into a masterpiece of orange, red, and violet — a moment of stillness and awe that words can barely describe.

This is one of the highlights of the tour, so keep your camera ready — every minute brings a new color, a new reflection on the sand. It’s a perfect ending to an afternoon of culture, nature, and peace.

Return Journey to Sharm El Sheikh

After sunset, mount your camel once more for the gentle ride back through the cooling desert air. Your guide will escort you to the minibus for a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.

By the time you return, you’ll feel refreshed and inspired — carrying not just photos, but memories of a desert evening filled with warmth, silence, and connection.
