Itinerary
Double Canyon (Small Arada Canyon) and Dunes Day from Dahab
The area gets its name from the Arada plant, a Bedouin medicinal herb thought to cure athsma, which in the Sinai, appears only here. Upon closer inspection, you'll find that the plant's leaves change color during the summer to a shade of blue.
We start at 08:00, driving for 1.5 hours to meet the camels. Then we ride the camels for an hour to the beginning of the Double Canyon. We walk through the canyon in a circle with a guide and return to the starting point for lunch. We then take the camels again for another hour to ride (along the way, a stop to roll in sand dunes) to a Bedouin house for some Bedouin tea.
