Hotel Pick-up
Begin your day of discovery as you’re picked up from your hotel in Marsa Alam and driven to Wadi El Gemal National Park, a hidden gem that stretches across land and sea. As the rugged desert landscapes transition to coastal vistas, you’ll feel as though you’re traveling to a forgotten paradise.

Wildlife Safari
Your adventure begins with a drive through the desert areas of the park. Keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of gazelles, desert foxes, and rare birds. The park’s guide will point out desert plants and explain the delicate ecosystem that thrives in this remote location. The silence of the desert is almost hypnotic, broken only by the occasional call of a bird or the sound of wind rustling through the valleys.

Mangrove Forest Walk
Next, you’ll arrive at the coast and take a leisurely walk through one of Egypt’s few mangrove forests. These ancient, tangled trees provide a vital habitat for a wide array of birds and marine life. As you walk along the shaded paths, you’ll hear the sound of waves lapping against the shore and the distant calls of seabirds. It’s a peaceful, serene experience that feels like stepping into another world.

Visit to Roman Ruins
Step back in time as you explore the ancient Roman ruins hidden within the park. These crumbling stone structures tell the story of Roman traders who once passed through this desert, leaving behind traces of their presence. Your guide will share fascinating tales of this region's history, from the Romans to the Bedouin tribes who later settled here.

Lunch Break
Take a break and enjoy a packed lunch in the shade, surrounded by the raw beauty of the desert and coastal landscapes. With nothing but the sound of the wind and waves to keep you company, this is a perfect opportunity to relax and connect with nature.

Boat Trip and Snorkeling
The final leg of your journey takes you to the coast for a tranquil boat trip. The boat will glide over the clear waters of the Red Sea, giving you a perfect view of the coral reefs below. At a secluded snorkeling spot, you’ll dive into the water and swim among vibrant coral gardens, encountering colorful fish, sea turtles, and perhaps even a dugong (sea cow), one of the park’s most endangered residents. The underwater world here feels untouched and pristine, a true paradise for nature lovers.

Return to Shore and Drive Back
As the day winds down, the boat will return to shore, where you’ll begin your journey back to Marsa Alam. As you drive back through the national park, the landscapes bathed in the golden light of late afternoon, you’ll feel a deep connection to this incredible corner of Egypt.

Hotel Drop-off
Arrive back at your hotel after a day filled with wildlife encounters, ancient history, and stunning natural beauty, ready to relax and reflect on the wonders you’ve experienced.
