Desert Adventures
Sleep under the stars, trace ancient pilgrim ways, and sit around the camp fire for a delicious Bedouin meal
Going into the wild for me has nothing to do with achievement. It is merely a place where we can become playfully present. Rest, explore, wander, play, find curiosities of life and experience a deep silence and grounding peace. When you are in the desert with the Bedouins there are no achievements, it's doing life and enjoying nature. A simplicity of being, I feel we have lost a bit. To allow a connection and pace to happen where our body finds its own circadian rhythm again. This is why I organize those trips. I want to bring you back home to your instincts. We rest in the desert. We let our breath be taken by the beauty of this rough landscape. And we get to live the Bedouin pace of life.
The Bedouins of Sinai have been living in this area for a few hundert years. The Sinai Peninsula is an ancient pilgrimage route that connects Egypt and Africa to important worship places like Jerusalem and Mekka. For centuries people were crossing the desert guided by the local Bedouins. The reason of travel have changed, but for the Bedouins hosting and guiding travelers is one of their trades. Their hospitality is expemplary for the famous arabic guest culture and you will be well taken care of and fed during our stay in the desert. I only work with local Bedouins, giving them a chance to show their home and culture as well as to grow their own Business.
Each tour with the Bedouins is unique, the sites and program always change a little bit. There are places where we go almost every time and others we visit rarely. Immerse yourself in the flow and rhythm of Bedouin lifestyle and let yourself be surprised by what we explore this time!

The extended
2 nights 3 full days
You want to stay out there a little longer? Spend 3 days completely disconnected! On this longer trip we have more time to wander and disconnect. Spending 2 nights in the desert not only gives more time to explore, the entire feeling changes. Having a whole day without having to go anywhere, without internet or phone connection framed by 2 other days of travel, wander and exploring really slows us down, giving the nerval system time and space to reset and reconnect. On thistrip we walk more, go deeper into the desert and get to know more places. You'll come out of this like coming back from a proper vacation, with new energy, ideas and ready to deal with the world!
7 meals are included as well as sleeping bags, drinking water, 4x4 car and basically every thing else you need for a night under the stars is organized by the local Bedouins that guide us on this experience.
