----------------------------

Details:

• We will travel inshalah Wednesday night and arrive there Thursday morning

• Spend Thursday, Friday, Saturday morning & arrive Cairo Saturday night inshalah


----------------------------


More Details:

- Ras Shitan:

It was originally called Bein Shattein (between two beaches) as it has 2 bays, but with time people called it Ras Shitan. The 2 bays beaches make a devil head shape.



- Our Destination:

One of the most beautiful places in the coast of Ras Shitan (Taba/Neuibaa). Simple nice huts. Nice hangout area and few shady ones on the beach. modern bathrooms (girls section / men section) are available with showers. The camp has a restaurant and café.



- Colored Canyons (optional)

if you like to visit the wonderful colored canyons, Millions of years ago, Sinai was covered by the sea, and nowhere has the ancient ocean left a more brilliant legacy upon the landscape than at the Colored Canyon, near Nuweiba.

A visit to the canyon provides instant recognition of where it gets its name. The walls of the canyon are easily the most colorful and intriguing rock formations in all of Sinai.

Trekking through the Colored Canyon is a lot of fun and it is also a very popular day trip for tourists in Sinai. The vast open spaces, ever changing scenery and extra-ordinary colors coupled with an abundance of clean, fresh air makes this a unique experience, which will definitely leave you with memorable impressions.


important note: if you are not flexible enough to accept the camp life (in camps not everything is perfect except pure nature) you can wait for the upcoming ras shitan event in a resort near ras shitan (rooms not huts with separate bathrooms, air-condition, fancy life but not from nature) the resort event will cost nearly 900 le instead of 450 le in a camp.


Hace a nice time :))
