Group overnight trip · South Sinai, Egypt
Have you heard of Oqda’s Well — a hidden Bedouin village tucked in the mountains between Nuweibaa and Dahab, near another that stands abandoned? We’ve timed this trip for right after the rain, when waterfalls and pools appear in the desert, for a full two-day hike from Nuweibaa to Dahab, with camels carrying the luggage.

Refunds
- Within 7 days of the trip your payment is already committed to booking our services, so cancellations, late arrivals and no-shows can’t be refunded
- Transfer fees are deducted from any refund

On the trails. Safety comes first: don’t pass the guides, wait for others at the trail stages, keep an average pace, and always keep an eye on who’s in front of and behind you. Our aim is simple: enjoy nature, stay safe and stick together.
