Sail down the winding Nile, watching from the comfort of your traditional felucca as the Nile River feeds the irrigated fields adjacent to villages under the shade of date palms dotted along its banks. Then view an unforgettable sunrise after a trek up the slopes of Mount Sinai. Put your donkey-riding skills to the test as we travel through the Valley of the Kings on this most unusual mode of transport. After all this excitement and adventure, spend some time sunning yourself and relaxing on one of Sinai's beaches in Dahab. Our 15-day Sailtrek & Sinai tour offers the Nile's finest combined with the beauty of Sinai into our single-most exhilarating adventure yet.
