Join the ultimate safari experience open to both certified and beginner divers, looking for that little bit more from a Red Sea holiday, and gain an insight to both on land & underwater eco systems. Enjoy diving in the Red Sea, with its abundance of marine life & coral ecosystems, and desert trekking, exploring the stunning natural beauty of the Sinai Desert, with it’s canyons, oasis and plateaus. Immerse yourself in local culture, as you sleep under the stars in our Desert Camp, with Bedouin tribesmen as your hosts.
Fantasea Red Sea | A PADI & CDWS affiliated dive center located at Coral Coast Hotel, is an established Dive Center, operating in Dahab since 1992. Their team of experienced, highly qualified and multi-lingual dive instructors & guides will ensure you get the most out of your dive experience, whilst following the safest practice.
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.
· Clean Up Dives & Beach Clean Up's | All major dive resorts along Egypt's coastline arrange beach clean up's and underwater dive clean up's, in order to remove any damaging waste that could harm the fragile marine life. Beach Clean up's can be done anywhere at any time and at Embah we carry bin bags and gloves to collect any waste we find along route, and encourage guests to join in.
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.
