JOURNEY INTO SILENCE, CONNECTION AND NEW PERSPECTIVES
Mahara invites you on a special journey to the essence of calm, connection and clarity — an experience that allows you to feel what is truly important to you.
For six days we travel, together with experienced Bedouins, through the breathtaking Sinai desert. On foot or by camel we move through a landscape that invites you to slow down, become still, and rediscover.
The silence of the desert creates space.
Space to breathe.
To feel what is real.
To let new perspectives arise.
Under a sky full of stars you experience the simplicity of the moment: the sand beneath your feet, the rhythm of the day, the connection with yourself and the group.
As in Ubuntu – “I am because we are” – we travel together, each with their own intention, but held by the same field of humanity.
During this journey there is room for shared moments of meditation, music and connection, but also for silence, reflection and time alone.
The desert invites a natural reset: back to simplicity, to balance, to yourself.
As a tangible reminder of this experience, each participant receives a professional portrait captured in the desert light, as a symbol of your journey and inner strength.

Egypt and Sinai do not require vaccinations.
Our travel policy
Tourism is the largest industry in the world, with enormous potential for economic growth and employment. Unfortunately, tourism also causes negative effects on nature and local cultures. We try to look for sustainable alternatives to limit the negative effects of tourism and enhance the positive effects. Livethebedouinlife attaches great importance to dealing responsibly with culture, nature and the environment. We adhere to cultural codes as much as possible and expect the same from our travelers. It is -if applicable- easy to forget that we sometimes travel through very poor areas.
