Desert Survival - Camel Riding School

  Egypt

• Other Cities in Egypt: 
Nuweiba

Description: The only Camel Riding School in Nuweiba offers a unique opportunity to spend your holiday doing something completely different.

In a sparse environment, the desert of Sinai, in a beautiful location on the beach, overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba local Bedouin will teach you about the camel and its nature.

The camel is the main source of survival of nomadic people in a hostile desert environment over centuries. Our aim is not only to provide the best firsthand knowledge about this interesting animal but you are also offered to learn about herbal medicine, flora and fauna and not at last about Bedouin way of life and survival in a wilderness that has not much to offer and yet is so surprisingly rich.

The Course lasts for 3 days and is recommended for groups with interest in camels as well as the fast vanishing culture of the Bedouins in south Sinai. We learn feeding,loading and riding a camel.
