Imagine: you saddle a camel at the edge of the desert, the sun glitters over the Red Sea, and ahead of you lies a very special kind of diving trip. No mass tourism, no hotel complexes \u2013 just you, your buddy, a few Bedouins and pure nature.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This experience is not for spontaneous snorkellers \u2013 it is for those who want to combine diving with authentic stories, intense impressions and a touch of wilderness. Those who reach Ras Abu Gallum by camel will not only find pristine reefs, but also campfires, starry skies and a feeling of freedom that you will never forget.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Procedure &#8211; How your camel diving safari work<\/h3>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Departure from Dahab<\/strong><br\/>The day begins early \u2013 usually with a pick-up in a jeep from the dive centre to the Blue Hole. There, all the diving equipment is loaded onto camels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The caravan sets off<\/strong><br\/>The &#8220;camel diving&#8221; begins: over the rugged coastline, past rock formations and steep slopes \u2013 a landscape so unspoilt that it could have come straight out of the Jurassic period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Arrival in Ras Abu Galum<\/strong><br\/>After about an hour to an hour and a half, you will reach the <strong>Blue Lagoon<\/strong> in Ras Abu Galum. Here, a small Bedouin family will welcome you, offering tea, simplicity and pure tranquillity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diving experience in unspoilt nature<\/strong><br\/>Now it&#8217;s time to dive beneath the surface of the water: colourful coral gardens, reefs, peaceful schools of fish and the occasional visiting turtle or eagle ray await you \u2013 the underwater world is particularly dense and colourful in the north.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Break &amp; exchange<\/strong><br\/>Between dives, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch straight from the Bedouin kitchen. Alternatively, sunbathe, read a book or simply enjoy the feeling of sand beneath your feet \u2013 pure holiday bliss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spend the night under the stars<\/strong><br\/>If you like, you can book the <strong>overnight package<\/strong>. Sleep under the stars, listen to the sound of the sea and experience an enchanting sunrise \u2013 it doesn&#8217;t get much more authentic than this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Return journey<\/strong><br\/>The next morning, the caravan sets off \u2013 once again by camel or, if booked, by jeep or boat. The return journey becomes a quiet reflection on a profound experience of nature and diving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rule tips &#8211; Light luggage, conscious divin<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep your packing list minimalistic<\/strong>: Plenty of dry clothes for the evening, your mask, your dive buddy package \u2013 everything else can be carried by the camel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start early<\/strong>: Morning dives offer optimal visibility, active marine life and soft light.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Respect is a must<\/strong>: Be mindful \u2013 no footprints in the sand, no litter, and definitely no touching the coral.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay overnight? Yes, please!<\/strong>: The next morning is the highlight, I promise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bedouin camp &#8211; simplicity meets warmt<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Minimalist &amp; authentic<\/strong>: Small huts or open spaces, rudimentary infrastructure \u2013 but with charm and serenity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Warm hosts<\/strong>: Bedouin families prepare authentic cuisine \u2013 fresh, local and a real treat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nights under the Sinai sky<\/strong>: The soundscape of waves, wind and an endless canopy of stars is incomparable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this experience is so specia<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Secluded &amp; unspoilt<\/strong>: With only a few dives per year, you will be almost alone as you immerse yourself in natural beauty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A breath of freedom<\/strong>: No hotels, no crowds \u2013 instead, a genuine feeling of nature and Bedouin tranquillity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ideal for all diving levels<\/strong>: Whether you are a beginner or advanced diver, there are easy dive sites suitable for drift diving and entry (0\u201330 m depth, max. current low).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>An unforgettable combination<\/strong>: land, sea and culture \u2013 camel diving is a 360\u00b0 experience that goes deeper than pure leisure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion &amp; recommendation<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Camel diving to Ras Abu Gallum is more than just a diving trip: it is an authentic escape from everyday life \u2013 with camels, cliffs, coral and tranquillity. It is aimed at divers who are looking for real adventure and peace and quiet \u2013 with feeling rather than diving spot tourism<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fancy your own desert and water adventure?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our camel diving safaris to Ras Abu Gallum take place <strong>anytime on request<\/strong> \u2013 completely individual, flexible and personally accompanied.
