The Ababda believe they first came to Egypt when the Arabs first arrived in the country, between 639 and 646. Guests are offered traditional Bedouin food. This consists of bread, called "qors qabori," cooked under the sand, and goat meat that is either cooked on the rocks or under the sand. The Ababda also serve their traditional Gabana coffee, which is roasted on the rocks then ground, seasoned with ginger or cardamom and cooked in the Gabana pot.Another part of the trip is taking a look at the geological layer in the Red Sea Mountains, which reflect some of the Earth’s formational history. There are 600-million-year-old red granite rocks, which have striking morphology and are among the oldest on the planet.Inside Wadi Gemal Park, one can also visit the mines that supplied the Roman Empire with green beryl.Show more
