What if it's cloudy?

Clouds are extremely rare in the Red Sea desert (over 300 clear days per year). If weather looks questionable, we’ll contact you with options to reschedule or proceed.

Very much so. The quiet desert, sunset camel ride, candle-lit dinner, and stars overhead create one of the most romantic evenings in Hurghada. Perfect for anniversaries or proposals.
