| Egypt - Nature and Wildlife |
From wide stretches of desert to the fertile banks of the Nile, Egyptian landscapes are a wide palette of discoveries just waiting to be explored. On foot, by camel or 4x4, hikes and safaris take you on a voyage of discovery of an astonishing environment, bursting with life.
Camping
 With so much outstanding natural and man-made scenery to explore and such a welcoming climate, camping is a great way to see Egypt on your own.
You can spend your nights beneath the starlit skies of the Western Desert and then explore its lush oases : the Bahariya, the Farafra and the Dakhla, during the day. Or, if you're a die-hard explorer, you can brave the remote, rippling sandscapes of Great Sand Sea with its cool nights and spectacular views. The Nile is also a good place to pitch your tent in the shadows of the Pyramids.
Make sure you're fully stocked up on all the essentials, especially water.
Trekking
Whether you're looking for mountains to climb or plains to trek, sands to stroll or oases to explore, Egypt's astonishing diversity of natural terrains and landscapes are the perfect ingredients for some truly memorable trekking.
The lush, green oases of the Western Desert : Bahariya, Farafra and Dakhla, are packed to the gills with historical gems from the Pharaonic, Graeco-Roman and Islamic Dynasties.
- If you're looking for open sands, the Great Sand Sea might be more your cup of tea. But if you're after a rockier ride, the mountainous peaks of the Sinai Peninsula or Jebel Uweinet are the best places to go.
- Test all your equipment before setting off.
Trekking locations :
You can trek almost anywhere you like. If you're looking for some culture along the way, the oases Bahariya, Farafra, Dakhla and Siwa are your best options. There are endless sandscapes in the Western and Eastern Deserts and in the Great Sand Sea on the Sahara. There are also mountains at Jebel Uweinat and at Sinai Peninsula.
Bird watching
In Egypt you can combine bird watching with sightseeing as birds have always played important roles in both the secular and sacred spheres of Egyptian  culture. Falcon, hawk and vulture-headed gods, the splendid frieze of the 'Medium Geese' and the heron-like Bennu bird (the Egyptian correspondence to the phoenix, a mythical sacred firebird), are only a few of over 76 bird species that can be identified in many other wall paintings, reliefs and artefacts.
- Amateur ornithologists have been searching the skies for well over a century. With improved environmental protection and conservation, Egypt's national parks are a delight for budding bird watchers. Over 150 indigenous species of birds live all year round in Egypt and another 280 migrate from their winter homes to the Nile's fertile banks.
From the herons and flamingos of Lake Bardawil to the blue-cheeked bea eaters of Wadi Natrun, and from the songbirds and sunbirds of the lush Nile Valley to the ospreys and eagles of the Ras Mohammed National Park, there are endless opportunities for bird watching all along the Nile, the Suez, the Red Sea coast and Egypt's great lakes and oases. |
