Double Well
Have you ever heard of Oqda’s Well?
Did you know there’s a hidden Bedouin village nestled in the mountains between Nuweibaa and Dahab, while another nearby village stands abandoned?
Have you seen stunning photos of pools formed after the rain and wondered where or when this magical sight occurs?
This is why we have crafted a unique experience exclusively for Cadence Seekers. We’ve chosen the perfect time after the rain to witness breathtaking waterfalls and serene pools in the desert. Just imagine embarking on a full hiking program spanning about 35 hours, with camels to carry your luggage, culminating in relaxation at Abu Galum and an exhilarating boat trip.
This could be your exclusive opportunity to explore the majestic mountains on a two-day hike from Nuweibaa to Dahab.
Stay tuned and get ready to sign up—only 8 seats are available!
