Excursion To Sarabit El Khadim From Sharm El Sheikh
Let our tour leader with 4WD vehicle take you across the desert sands to Serabit El Khadem, hike among the rocky mountains enjoying the many colors reflecting from the oxidized surfaces in the sun.
Take a jeep safari from Sharm el Sheikh for the 250 kilometer trip to the only exisiting ancient Egyptian archaeological site in Sinai.
Our English speaking guide with a Bedouin tour leader will introduce you to the place where Pharaohs of the 3rd Dynasty (2670-2570 BC) began their mining expeditions to this area to extract turquoise.
Ancient Egyptians were not only fond of carving scarabs out of this opaque sky-blue gemstone, but they also used pulverized turquoise as pigment to color statues and other objects.
Methodical mining for this attractive stone continued well after the 12th Dynasty (1955-1750 BC) when a temple dedicated to the goddess Hathor - the Mistress of Turquoise - was built.
At the walled temple, which stands on a plateau 850 meters above sea level, you can see the ruins of Hathor's rock-cut chapel and a large number of carved stone slabs with inscriptions. Close to the temple complex ...
... at the abandoned mining shafts you can also examine well preserved ancient inscriptions.
After your sightseeing tour you will enjoy the Bedouin lunch before driving back to Sharm El Sheikh
