Hello, We left with TERRA-TRIPS for the 4-day getaway in Sinai, and we are generally delighted with the organization of this trip, where everything was well prepared and where everything was scrupulously respected.
The Bedouin guide and guide are competent, professional and eager to share with us the way of life in the Sinai.
The visits are very interesting, the landscapes very exotic and superb, we felt "alone in the world" at times. And that has nothing to do with a trip organized by a classic 'tour operator'.
In short, one word as a hundred, we will contact TERRA-TRIPS again for any other trip to Egypt.

The Red Sea and the Sinai
It is one of the saltiest in the world. It is home to many fish and more than 1000 species of molluscs and invertebrates. The Red Sea is one of the most beautiful destinations during your trip to Egypt. It is a paradise for scuba divers or with a mask and a snorkel to discover a wonderful world of multicolored fish and superb corals. The most famous seaside resorts: Hurghada, El Quesir, Safaga, Marsa Alam, and on the Sinai: Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab. And to visit Saint Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai, and the Sinai Deserts.
This region with a hot desert climate is today inhabited by more than 400,000 Egyptians, mainly in the north along the Israeli border and the Gaza strip. The best known cities are: Sharm el-Sheikh and Tobacco, which are important tourist destinations.
The highest point, located south of the peninsula, is the Mount St. Catherine peaking at 2,642 m1 and which is also the highest peak in Egypt. THE mount sinai, or Djebel Moussa (“Mountain of Moses”) (2,285 m).
