Egypt Biking: Hills and Canyons Bike Trail
Duration: 4-5 hoursTour Overview
Embark on a thrilling bike journey from Wadi Sabarah that takes you into the heart of the mountains! This trip is a wonderful combination of challenging climbs and canyon exploration – with some amazing views thrown in.
After checking your gear, the ride heads westward to tackle some gravelly terrain and steady uphill climbs.

FAQ
Is there a minimum/maximum number of people needed for the trip to take place?
There is no minimum number of participants but there is a 50% supplement if only one person is on the trip
Should I leave a minimum amount of time between diving and biking?
So long as you are not overtired the answer to this is, no. We have consulted with DAN - the Divers Alert Network – who are at the forefront of dive medicine. Their advice is to wait 24 hours after a dive before going above 2,000ft/600m. There are no restrictions below this height which means our trips should cause no problems as the maximum climb is 1,300ft/400m.
Do I need a certain level of fitness to take part?
There are some challenging climbs involved in this trip and it is recommended anyone taking part should have a decent level of fitness.
Will I be accompanied by a guide at all times?
Yes. Each tour is led by a group leader who will escort you through the entirety of the trip.
