Jordan to Egypt: The Sinai Peninsula & The Shimmering Red Sea
Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula is a land of stark beauty, deep history, and wild adventure - a true crossroads of ancient empires. If you’re craving something off the beaten path, this eight-day journey through lesser-known Jordan and the rugged Sinai is exactly what you need. Start in Madaba, home to the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land, then take a thrilling 4x4 ride through the dramatic dunes of Wadi Araba. Cross the Gulf of Aqaba to Dahab, a laid-back coastal haven with chances for world-class optional snorkelling in the famous Blue Hole. Then, step into history at Saint Catherine, the world’s oldest active Christian monastery, before hiking to the summit of Mount Sinai - where legend says Moses received the Ten Commandments. From vast deserts to sacred sites, this trip is made for travellers ready to push their boundaries and experience something extraordinary.

We’ve been the leaders in small group adventure travel for 30+ years. How’d we get here? By listening to our travellers and giving them what they want: flexible itineraries, freedom to explore, smaller groups, safety and peace of mind, and locally based guides who show you your destination in a way you’d miss travelling any other way.
The trip of your dreams doesn’t need a Hollywood-sized budget or years of planning. Simply join a small group of like-minded travellers that, like you, are eager to experience all the things that make our world worth exploring.
Our guides are all CEOs.
At G Adventures, we don’t have tour guides — we have Chief Experience Officers. Our founder, Bruce Poon Tip, gave up his title as CEO because he felt they needed a proper title to reflect how integral they are to giving you an exceptional travel experience. (But don’t worry, they won’t be using any office attire or business jargon.)
Locally based = local experts.
Our CEOs are locally based, meaning they know the area you’re exploring like the back of their well-travelled hand. They plan visits around the best times to visit (or avoid) the most popular spots, can help you choose local restaurants, and generally give you great tips on the best things to experience. And since they usually speak the local language, they are your go-to resource for anything that comes up.
Local support. All. The. Time.
All CEOs are supported by our local operations teams 24/7. If something comes up that your CEO can’t help you with (however unlikely that is), the team nearby is there to support them in keeping you safe and happy.
Your experience is their focus.
We want you to have the time of your life — that’s why we hire the smartest, friendliest, bestest CEOs around. It’s their mission to make sure you return home feeling like your life has truly been changed.
