RAS ABU GALUM BY CAMEL

A UNIQUE DAHAB ADVENTURE

Ride a camel to the spectacular dive sites at Ras Abu Galum!

Ras Abu Galum is a protected area situated just north of Dahab. Like Gabr El Bint in the south Ras Abu Galum is difficult to reach by car, so we offer special dive trips to this area by boat or, for the more adventurous, by camel. To reach Ras Abu Galum by camel we leave Dahab early in the morning and begin our day by travelling by car to the Blue Hole. Once here all of our equipment, and ourselves, are loaded onto our waiting camels. We ride the camels for an hour and a half along a narrow seaside path, with the clear turquoise sea on our right and stunning mountains of Sinai on our left the view is simply breathtaking.

When we arrived at Ras Abu Galum, which is simply a waterside Bedouin Villiage, we take some time to rest, explore and enjoy a cup of tea. Because of our early start we generally have time for at least two and sometimes three dives and with these dive sites being among some of the most beautiful places of the Red Sea and Egypt you may want to do even more. After diving we enjoy a locally prepared meal. There is some time to relax before we go back, with the camels to the Blue Hole.
