A few days ago I realized there are camels in Israel. In fact, the place is right next to Egypt. I’ll be there on Friday, and I was shocked to realize this. So today I emailed several camel tour places, and generally could not stop thinking about camels. Hopefully we’ll be at a spa on the Dead Sea, and can then proceed to a camel tour, all in the same SEasterly direction. When I told Michael this he said, Our priorities are so different. But then he agreed anyway, if the price was right.
So, tonight I get home and both camel places have responded. Prompt camel wranglers–that seems good.
#1.) Hi there
You can choose of 2 options in the Sinai: the high range area or the sand
stone. A private tour for 2 will cost 390$ in total per day. There is an
option in the Eilat Mts as well but not as good as the Sinai Let me knowBest regards:

But the second one is even better.
It’s just a bunch of photos, in two emails, with this text:
Hiking with backpacks through the magnificent Red Granite Mountains of Sinai’s High Range is an experience of a lifetime. Explore the beautiful ancient monasteries, Bedouin gardens, orchards, oasis, waterfalls and rock pools, accessible only by foot. Enjoy the incredible panoramic views of the High Range, which span the whole of the Sinai Peninsula, to the mountains of North Africa, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aqaba and to Northern Saudi Arabia. Climbing to the summits of mountains such as Mt. Catherine, Mt. Sinai and Jabel Bab.
The hiking difficulty can be eased by using camels to carry our camping equipment and other supplies, these will meet us each evening at the days camping spot. This way we carry in our packs only what is necessary for the day’s hike.
