Blue Hole to Ras Abu Galum Trek

Combine Dahab's best coastal scenery with an unforgettable desert trek on this journey to the remote Ras Abu Galum nature reserve. Start at the Blue Hole for a morning snorkel over the famous deep blue abyss. Then set off along the coast — either by camel or on foot (your choice) — on a 6 km trek through stunning desert landscape where rugged Sinai mountains meet the turquoise Gulf of Aqaba. The trail winds along the shoreline, past rocky coves and pristine reefs visible from the cliffside path. Arrive at the remote Bedouin settlement of Ras Abu Galum, where a handful of families live completely off-grid. Enjoy traditional Bedouin tea and a fresh fish lunch prepared on the beach. After lunch, snorkel one of the most pristine reefs in the entire Red Sea — rarely visited and teeming with marine life. The return to the Blue Hole is by camel along the beach as the afternoon sun casts golden light on the mountains.
