Dinner with the Stars
Bedouin Mountain Dinner Experience
The Journey
Experience the quiet beauty of the Sinai mountains on a gentle camel ride through Wadi Gnai, discovering a hidden oasis tucked among the peaks before settling into a traditional Bedouin camp for a freshly prepared dinner beneath a sky overflowing with stars. With the warmth of the fire and the stillness of the desert, it is an evening made to slow everything down.
What to expect
As the light goes, we head into the mountains of Wadi Gnai — the last stretch on camel-back, swaying slowly through the dark folds of the range to a camp you’d never find alone. There’s firelight, the smell of cooking, and then nothing but silence and sky.
Dinner is a freshly cooked Bedouin meal eaten in the open air, and afterwards the fire is for staring into and the sky is for staring up at — a desert night so dark the stars feel close enough to touch.
