Safaris Plans Ideas
Seaons change. These are some of the ideas for travelling during Winter.
At Winter it's too cold for hiking in the Mountains of Sinai (typically colder than Cairo by 15 ºC or more) while the heat is leaving the Western desert in the best of climates... just right! :)
The following are just the labels of some destinations or scenic routes. For details search the archives of SaharaSafaris Forum or throw a question there.
