7-Day Sinai Climbing & Desert Adventure

Come to Dahab for a week that takes you from desert crags to the Red Sea. You’ll climb in two distinct Sinai valleys, explore the wadis on foot and spend one or more nights camping under the stars. With Dahab as our base, we can spend full days on the rock and set aside a day to explore the coast.

Climbing in Wadi Gnai and Wadi Hamam

Wadi Gnai is Dahab’s classic climbing area. Its three main sectors offer bolted sport routes ranging from approachable climbs to technical slabs where balance and precise footwork make all the difference. Boulders are scattered throughout the wider canyon.

Wadi Hamam takes us deeper into the desert for single-pitch climbing on granite and other volcanic and intrusive rock. Its five roped climbing sectors are just minutes apart on foot, so we can warm up on slabs before moving on to corners or steeper routes. The quiet setting gives us time to explore the valley between climbs.

The trip welcomes all climbing levels. If you’re new to outdoor climbing, you’ll have time to get comfortable on the rock. If you already climb, we’ll choose routes that challenge you at your level.

Desert nights and a day on the Red Sea

We’ll explore the wadis on foot and spend one or more nights camping in the desert. On our day away from the rock, we’ll visit Dahab’s Blue Hole and follow the coastal trail to Ras Abu Gallum, where the Sinai mountains meet the Red Sea.

Dates: 24th to 30th of January 2027
