UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE
​
The St Catherine trip is controlled by regulations from the Egyptian government. In an effort to help the Bedouin of Sinai, the government assigns Bedouin mountain guides to
all tour groups.
As a consequence, we do not have control over which guide or driver is assigned to you. The knowledge of English and level of service may differ from guide to guide.
​
Whichever office you book with in Dahab, you will always be part of the same group going to St Catherine that particular day.
​
The only way we can control which driver will go with you to St. Catherine, is for you to organize a private trip for you or your group with us.
​
We thank you for your understanding.
