MOUNTAIN BIKE
SAFARIS
Our
most popular six-day
programme takes you
through stunning
landsacapes in the
limestone and sandstone
areas of the Sinai
desert. You will have
the chance to cycle on
stony trails as well as
on hard sand and all
variations in between.
There are just a few
spots where the sand is
so soft and deep that
the bikes will ride on
top of the jeep….
In addition to the
physical exhilaration
and sense of achievement
which you will gain from
completing such a tour,
you will see some
incredible historical
landmarks along the way.
The Valley of
Inscriptions bears
witness to the nomadic
wanderings of the
Nabataeans along their
trade routes and the
tour culminates at St.
Katherine, with a visit
to the world famous
monastery. The
temple of the ancient
goddess Hathor at
Serabit El Khadem looks
back to the time of the
Pharaohs – this is
a wonderful
opportunity to discover
hieroglyphs without the
crowds! For
those with an interest
in geology, the Forest
of Pillars is a location
not to be missed. All in
all, the variety of
different landscapes and
rock formations offers a
fascinating itinerary.
Please note: for
enthusiastic mountain
bikers who may not be at
the peak of physical
fitness or would like a
choice of less strenuous
routes, these can be
tailor-made according to
guests’ wishes. There is
a programme to suit
everyone!
