Summary
Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula is a land of stark beauty, deep history, and wild adventure — a true crossroads of ancient empires. If you’re craving something off the beaten path, this eight-day journey through lesser-known Jordan and the rugged Sinai is exactly what you need. Start in Madaba, home to the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land, then take a thrilling 4x4 ride through the dramatic dunes of Wadi Araba. Cross the Gulf of Aqaba to Dahab, a laid-back coastal haven with chances for world-class optional snorkelling in the famous Blue Hole. Then, step into history at Saint Catherine, the world’s oldest active Christian monastery, before hiking to the summit of Mount Sinai — where legend says Moses received the Ten Commandments. From vast deserts to sacred sites, this trip is made for travellers ready to push their boundaries and experience something extraordinary.
