ADVENTURE & OUTDOOR
Get active on Egypt’s spectacular desert landscapes and dazzling blue seas
Egypt may be known for its centuries of storied history and monuments, but its weather and diverse landscapes make it a prime destination for enjoying outdoor exercise, adrenaline pumping sport, and a variety of leisure activities!
With an amazing climate that promises hundreds of days of sunshine and blue skies year-round, Egypt is an outdoor lover’s paradise. There are currently 30 protectorates all over the country, sheltering Egypt’s wildlife and natural beauty. Epic sand dunes offer ample opportunities for thrill seekers to sandboard or quad bike, picturesque mountains invite hikers to explore, and the more chill visitor can enjoy fishing and birdwatching around the oases. With peaceful nights under a blanket of stars, camping overnight in some of the protectorates can be arranged by licensed guides.
Whatever your tempo is, there is much to discover. Water activities are abundant in the Land of Sun and Seas, with nearly 3,000 km of coastline, plentiful coral reef, and rare marine life to explore below the surface. Camping on the beach is popular in Nuweiba, while kitesurfing and windsurfing are the main draw in Dahab, al-Gouna, and Marsa Alam.
