We feel like you want to plan a summer trip. And if you don’t, then maybe, you should at least consider a hike. You can take it as a break between the long and hot working days. It’ll be your chance to reconnect with nature and enjoy the gorgeous landscapes we have in Egypt but don’t see often enough. In addition to that, who wouldn’t want to breathe fresh air for a change? Don’t think twice and check out the best five hiking places in Egypt!
Wadi Degla Protectorate – Cairo:
Want to see a very different side of Cairo? Then, this is your place. Wadi Degla Protectorate is your nearest place to hike and skip the city’s chaotic streets. Not long ago, the protectorate was everyone’s BBQ golden spot, so here’s that too! You can also enjoy other activities like bike riding, running, cycling, mountain climbing, and camping.
Wadi El Hitan – Fayoum:
The best thing about this place is its flat paths; it’ll be a dazzling easy hike. The valley is also a very cool place with its fossil remains of whales. It’s considered a fossil museum. Sandboarding, stargazing, kayaking, horseback riding, and other activities are also enjoyable in the valley.
Mountain Moses – Sinai:
This one is a more advanced level of hiking, it’s more of a trek due to the inclines and declines. However, a Mountain Catherine hike has nothing on the Mountain Moses one. The place is also considered a holy site by different religions. You can be lucky enough to witness the sunrise or the sunset by reaching its peak.
The Coloured Canyon – Nuweiba:
The scenery at this place is out of this world; the canyon stands in beautiful shades and hues. Sandstone, granite and limestones created the walls of the canyon. Hiking there at this place will offer you a view that you won’t forget.
Blue Lagoon – Dahab:
Our last recommendation is also a mesmerizing diving destination. Dahab is known for its colourful coral reefs and unique fish. Imagine hiking by crystal blue waters and the standing-tall mountains? You can relish kitesurfing at the Blue Lagoon, too! Swimming in the lagoon after your memorable hike is an option at this magical place!
In your opinion, which of these is the best hiking place in Egypt?
