マルサ・アラム半日ハイキング : リモートワディ・ナエバ砂漠トレッキング

The guide gave a presentation about the red land at our hotel (you get a 10€ discount when you stay in Wadi Sabarah) which caught our interest. So we booked this 3h trip and went with only our group of 4 friends. We had no expectations and were all the more surprised about the beauty of the desert. We learned about how local animals and ancient tribes survive in the desert. It was the perfect end to our vacation in Egypt.

I did the sunset hike through the Red Country with Youhana as my guide. It was fascinating learning about how much life there is, experiencing the beautiful scenery and learning so much from Youhana whose enthusiasm was truly a delight! I was amazed by how much connection there is between the land and the coastal environment, having come to the region to dive. This was a great experience to couple with diving, and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting, and interested to learn more about the ecology of the region and Bedouin culture through an eco-friendly service!

I had this morning to do something. The booking was swift and in the morning the guide and a Bedouin driver picked me up and we drove about 30 minutes up the Wadi. We then started hiking with the intention of finding water. The guide pointed out signs for water underground and after about 1h 30min we found a source of fresh water and a oasis, which unfortunately was almost dried out. At the oasis the car was waiting and we went back to the hotel Wadi Sabarah lodge. A worthwhile 3h spent in the desert and I also learnt something.

I thoroughly enjoyed this desert excursion & wished I had been able to fit in another longer journey. I joined a few other adventurous spirits along with our fantastic guides Yoahnna & Adam. Their love of the desert and its history, inhabitants, & lifeforms are very much present in what they share. It is a beautiful walk, with a great viewpoint, and a fun and informative unfolding of the secrets of the water source. There is much more life than one thinks in the desert. Thank you!

After a short drive, we began the tour in one wadi and crossed over the hills into the next wadis. We joined the tour with Yohanna, it was really nice and informative. it was a truly unique desert experience. We saw new types of fauna, stunning mountainous terrain, and even spotted lizards and an ibex! The drive back took us along another wadi with beautiful rock formations and fascinating geological features. It took from 8am to 2pm (including a tea break and a nice rest on top a hill) Tip: wear good sneakers since some parts are a bit of a scramble

It’s one thing to go on excursions, and a whole different experience when the operator itself is great company. I did two trips with Emperor Adventure during my short stay in Marsa Alam. The first was a trek through Wadi Nabea, and the second a tour of Wadi El Gemal. As a solo traveller, I was hesitant to book at first since the company had so few reviews, but then I realized they were affiliated with the Wadi Sabrah lodge, which maintains a beautiful botanical garden on its property, as well as the reputed Emperor Diver center. I truly love the desert and was happy to find their tours, which seemed to primarily promote knowledge of the land and avoid gimmicks such as camel rides and belly dancing. A huge thanks to Asala, who coordinated everything for me on short notice and was so much fun to spend time with in Wadi Naeba, Osama for “clearing the path for us” (haha). I have an issue with heights, and should mention that 99% of the trek was really OK for me. Word of advice: bring snacks with you, the ride back to the hotel will seem very long otherwise and it will help you better enjoy the gabana (Bedouin coffee)

Great excursion !!! Very good guide, good explanation in a very beautiful landscape. Fully recommended to enjoy the Egyptian desert in Marsa Alam

New Year’s Day hike to get 2026 off to a good start and it didn’t disappoint. Stunning desert scenery, a good hike and expert guiding on everything from plant and animal life to ancient trade routes and Bedouin tribes.

We made a wonderful walk « Following the Water in Wadi Nabda » with Osama. It was a 3km walk and we had a great time with amazing view! Thank Osama for the wonderful time we spent together.

I had a wonderful hiking trip to the red land. Our guide knew a lot about the land, the plants, the animals and the particularities of this special place. It was amazing to see the sundown in the desert. Never felt that calm and peaceful before.
