Wadi Feiran

Wadi Feiran, also known as Wadi Faran, is Sinai's largest wadi, stretching over 80 miles across the peninsula.  One of the alleged sites of the Biblical Rephidim, where Moses is said to have struck a rock for water, this wadi holds historical significance. 

The lush Feiran Oasis, nestled within the wadi, offers a glimpse into early Christian communities.  Explore the ruins of a 5th-century monastery and experience the warm hospitality of the Bedouin people, who have called this place home for centuries.  Expect to be welcomed with tea, coffee, and perhaps even a traditional meal.

For the adventurous soul, Mount Serbal presents a challenging yet rewarding hike.  This 6,560-foot peak was once believed to be the real Mount Sinai.  The six-hour trek to the summit along the Sikket Ar Reshshah track is rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views.

While nightlife is nonexistent in Wadi Feiran, the serene desert nights offer a magical experience under a blanket of stars.
