šŸ—ŗļø What to expect on this expedition

Wadi El Gemal National Park presents an extraordinary fusion of rugged desert mountains, mangrove estuaries, and crystalline Red Sea waters. Your nature expedition starts with a morning pickup in an air-conditioned minibus, heading south into the protected national reserve. Our first destination is the remarkable Al-Nayzak (Meteor Lake), a deep natural rock pool on the edge of the sea, perfect for a refreshing dip.

We then travel to Qulaan, often called the "Egyptian Maldives," to explore its shallow turquoise channels and walk along soft white sandbars. See ancient mangroves growing out of the saltwater, home to unique seabirds and scuttling hermit crabs. In the afternoon, enjoy easy snorkeling at Sharm El Luli, a calm, shallow bay famous for its untouched coral fields, before capping off the day with a seaside BBQ dinner.
