Itinerary description

Really great hike I did at the end of March - in the latest days before it becomes really too hot for hiking.

The field is flat and easy. The path is clear - only need to follow the sea.

I came back to Dahab by boat and then by shared cab from Blue Hold. Sorry I didn’t stop the gps, you see the boat track.

I had a great day, recommend it ! The mountains and the sea are stunning and the combination of them incredible.

Détails:

Ras Abu Galu to Dahab
- For the boat, you need to be around 4pm, max 5pm apparently for the latest boats. I paid 60 Egyptian pound but I feel it could have been lower for other persons.
- For the shared cab, I paid 50 pounds but the Egyptian with me paid 30 pounds…

Have fun!
