Mohamed Mabrouk recommends one of his favourite hikes:
ALGALT is a beautiful pool up the mountains in Sinai passing through some of the most beautiful wadis between Sinai mountains. Licensed Bedouin guides (obligatory by St Katherine Protectorate) and Cameleers (porters there carry with their camels) are professional and punctual.
The trail is just beautiful that I wonder why not many around the world are jumping on it when it has all the necessary facilities and hikers attractions. Perhaps Red Sea diving towns such as Sharm and Dahab are overshadowing it.
I am sending two photos from the Circuit that starts and ends in St Katherine’s town (WHS by UNESCO) where the Byzantine Monastery is situated.

I hate to admit it. I went to Dahab in the 1990s. Did the standard overnight camel-into-the-desert adventure. And did not hike.
Next time …
I like Mohamed’s email tag line too:
I might sound like a crazy dreamer but.. only crazy dreamers can come up with ideas like the Egyptian pyramids!
