Egypt’s first long distance trail

Egypt’s first long distance trail in the Sinai stretches almost 250 km from the Gulf of Aqaba to St. Katherine. The 14-day Sinai Trail, which connects ancient travel, trade and pilgrimage routes in the Sinai wilderness, was first opened in 2015 and has been maintained since by three local Bedouin tribes: the Tarabin, Mazeina and Jebeleya. The eco-tourism project already received international acclaim with an award from the British Guild of Travel Writers in 2016 and shoutout in Wanderlust Magazine (watch, runtime 2:18).
