In Egypt, this type of trip has spread to several regions, notably Sinai, and particularly Dahab, a town located on the Gulf of Aqaba, which is about 100 kilometers from the city of Sharm el-Sheikh. Situated 87 km away from the city of Nuweiba, it is famous for its golden sands thus granting it the name “Gold” or "Dahab", where it is also known for its pristine beaches and coral reef diving sites.

The city of Dahab is a hub for Safari sports as it is well known for its scenic nature and history. It is a sea port on the Gulf of Aqaba and was simply a warehouse for goods used by the Bedouin tribes known as the Nabataean Arabs from the second century BC until the year 106 AD and in the nineties of the last century after which it started to expand. It has become a popular location for parachuting enthusiasts, mountain hikers, safari sports fans, and anyone who wants to enjoy the mountainous and desert nature, away from the bustling tourist attractions. It also provides a hub for enjoying the sandy beaches full of unique Bedouin tents in addition to many venues for desert sports, camel rides, safari trips and diving.

The Sinai Peninsula is also rich with mountain ranges of various colors and shapes with a number of oases, archaeological and religious sites.

Deep in the South-Western desert in a 7770 square km area, is the safari tourism in the Great Gulf region formed of both sandstone and limestone. It was given this name by Prince Kamal El-Din, the son of Sultan Hussein in 1926 when his convoy faced this 300 meters long gulf with its numerous valleys, such as Wadi Talh, Wadi Abdel Malik and Wadi Hamra. Its unique features are of international prominence and have characterized it as an important region in global eco-tourism.

Safari trips tend to be centralized in a number of areas, namely the border town of Owainat between Egypt, Libya, Sudan and the glass Silica area known for its green crystalline rocks. It is these rocks precisely which produced the green material that adorns the Tutankhamun’s necklace, indicating that the Pharaohs arrived in the area three thousand years ago. In addition to the valley, explorers found the Valleys of "Soora" and "Hamra" in addition to the "Almestekawi" cave, which contains more than two thousand images of carvings and drawings of the first humans, who had inhabited the region ten thousand years ago.

They find it fun to climb the dunes that buried the armies of Kambiz and Alexander the Great, and find an appeal in the 10,000-year-old mountainous caves.
