The 10 Best Photography Tours in Red Sea and Sinai, Egypt

July 27, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Traditional attitudes prevail in the historic Sinai region on Egypt's border with Israel. The triangular peninsula is divided from the rest of Egypt by the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Craggy mountains, including 7500-foot Mount Sinai, plunge down to the waters of the Red Sea. Spectacular snorkeling and diving sites beckon from the Gulf of Aqaba to the east of the peninsula, particularly along the dramatic coastline of Na'ama Bay in Sharm el Sheikh. Camelback safaris offer distinctive desert excursions.

If you need a real desert safari experience and not the highly touristy and unimpressive "safaris" organized near Hurghada look no further. My family said this is the best part of their experience in Egypt and the superior customer experience is unlike anything else. We were shown the real desert and nature in a luxury 4x4 and our guide did show us incredible things in the desert.The dinner was most delicious .I learned a lot about the desert from this tour and feel extremely satisfied.Treated like a king. I will reccomend to friends and surely come back one day :)))

Nice experience, but that is all. We were also told that we will have free drinks and we did get only a small cup of some green drink that tasted badly. If you want to go, get your own stuff and don't expect nothing from them. Just enjoy the view.

I didn’t know much about the Black or White deserts in Egypt until I saw a TripAdvisor review of Tamer Safari. I am so glad that I booked this tour as the landscapes are truly unique. The tour included a pickup and drop from my hotel in Cairo. After arriving in the Bharaiya oasis, we had lunch and set off to go driving through the national parks stopping at various locations to view the natural wonders. We then set up camp in the middle of the White desert and the staff cooked a huge meal. Sleeping under the stars in my tent was very peaceful. I had breakfast at the camp site the next morning before seeing some more sites. Finally, I tried sand boarding down a huge sand dune. After having lunch, the staff drive me back to Cairo. I only did the 2 day/1 night package but if you can do a longer tour, you won’t regret it.
