Traveling to another world, seeing landscapes never seen before, unbelievable colours and shapes. The night sky is huge with more stars than a city dweller can believe, you can even make our Orion's belt! The Bedouin are friendly and serene, it was excellent to meet you and to safari with you.

With Embah, you get a deeper feeling of the desert than just sand between your toes! thank you!. Paul More....
Homestay | We have hand picked various hosts in various locations in Egypt to offer homestays and home visit for lunch or dinner. An ideal way to meet the locals and to get the real experience of the communities we visit. Homestays can be staying within a locals home in private rooms or can be staying with a tribal family within their camp, either way standards are high and your are welcomed with the highest form of local hospitality. Meals are prepared with local flavor and allow for you to indulge in traditional dishes cooked by the woman of the house. Guaranteed to be fresh, tasty and abundant.
Traditional Bedouin Camp | EMBAH’s nomadic desert camp in Sinai consists of traditional Bedouin tents, with carpeted areas for relaxing and sleeping. The Nomadic camp means that the camp will be set up and dismantled each day as you we move Mattresses are provided to ensure your comfort and sleeping bags can also be arranged. A kitchen area is set adjacent to the camp, where freshly prepared meals will be cooked on an open fire. Designated washing and toilet areas are set up and in some cases you can bathe in hot springs or fresh water oases. Our camp locations are picked for favorable weather conditions and stunning scenery.
EMBAH is committed to the elements of responsible & sustainable tourism, and this tour boasts multiple benefits to the local community. While travelling in the Desert & Mountainous regions of Sinai, work opportunities and therefore income is distributed between multiple desert dwelling families. Wherever possible we purchase local produce, encourage souvenir purchase from the Bedouin women and use local homes for meals. The projects we support in this region are:
Nawamis Desert School | An initiative developed by a UK charity that was brought about to enable the Bedouin villagers to remain in their desert homes and maintain their traditional way of life and still have their children educated. It also provides a special meeting place where Bedouin tribes can gather and celebrate.
Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Gardens | a local initiative to preserve Rare medicinal plants unique to the region. Herbs gardens have been created on various plots in land throughout St Catherine’s and are also cultivated in greenhouses for preserving biodiversity, research and for sale.
