Ras Abu Galum is one of Egypt's most renowned National Parks, a managed resource protected area covering around 400km2, that protects coastal and mountain ecosystems that are unique to the Gulf of Aqaba.

With its high mountains, wadis, fresh water springs, picturesque sand dunes and 165 plant species (45 of which are unique to the region), Ras Abu Galum one of the most beautiful national parks in Egypt! Originally a Bedouin fishing point during the summer months, many families would relocate to collect various sea foods to be dried, salted & stored for the winter months ahead. Even today there are a number of families that earn a living at Ras Abu Galloum. Whether they continue the tradition of fishing or as hosts for visitors who stay in their palmed beach huts. This trip starts in Dahab or Sharm el Sheikh, with an earlier pick up for guests in Sharm. Optional extra: Trek to Bir El Ogdah, 2 days (€50 supplement).
