Sharm is known as the land of turquoise Sharm el-Sheikh - Akram Ali No trekking locale surpasses the desert outskirts of Sharm el-Sheikh, where natural beauty engulfs you and soaring peaks inspire. Visitors can embark on day or overnight excursions into the glorious mountains of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. A wide array of day and overnight itineraries is sure to satisfy every palate. Adventurers ride motorcycles or beach buggies into the heart of the desert, where they set off for guided mountain hikes. The thrill can be all-consuming, so tourists must remember to exercise caution when negotiating sinuous mountain trails. Groups stop mid-route to take in breathtaking views. Sensational mountain echoes invite endless vocal experiments. Steep, multicoloured slopes rise in every direction. Some are red, some green. Ice-capped Mount Moses stand majestic in the distance. Trekkers can take respite in tents offering aromatic teas and other traditional drinks. At the end of the trail, adventurers savour delectable Bedouin dishes under glistening skies. Limpid moonlight bathes the mountains as visitors sway in concord with traditional songs and dances. This is the ultimate way to experience Sharm el-Sheikh, the region known as the “land of turquoise” on account of its cerulean coastline.
