Embark on an exclusive private journey to Nabq Protectorate. Paddle through ancient mangrove forests, snorkel vibrant untouched reefs, and enjoy an authentic Bedouin lunch in a traditional coastal settlement.

Overview

Discover the hidden ecological jewel of the Sinai Peninsula with our VIP private excursion to the Nabq Protectorate. Located just north of Sharm El Sheikh, this pristine nature reserve is a spectacular convergence of desert dunes, coastal salt marshes, and the northernmost mangrove ecosystem in the Red Sea. Your private Egyptologist and local guide will escort you in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle to this protected sanctuary, far from the crowded tourist resorts. Your adventure begins with a guided kayaking expedition through the serene mangrove channels, where you will learn about these fascinating salt-tolerant trees and spot rare migratory birds. Next, plunge into the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea for a private snorkeling session along the vibrant, untouched coral reefs of the Gharqana region. Witness an abundance of marine life in its most natural state, undisturbed by heavy tourist traffic. To complete your cultural immersion, you will be welcomed into an authentic Bedouin settlement. Relax in a traditional tent, sip aromatic herbal tea, and savor a freshly prepared Bedouin lunch cooked over an open fire. On our return journey, we will stop at the iconic Maria Schroeder shipwreck, stranded on the shallow reef, offering a dramatic backdrop for unforgettable photographs before returning to your hotel.
