LIBRARY & ART ROOM - Immerse yourself in the surrounding beauty by exploring Karen’s Living Room, the extensive library that holds both modern & ancient literature, local artefacts, guides and classics on Egyptian history, nature conservation, geology and more. Discover the importance of the region, both in present & ancient times. Explore how before the motorboat, the Southern Red Sea provided traders with an alternative to the dangerous winds that threw ships onto reefs, or how trade routes through the Eastern Desert to the Nile Valley allowed the flow of goods from Asia and East Africa to the Empires that dominated Europe since antiquities. Through the library or just sharing experiences with other guests, we hope Karen’s Living Room will provide you with an environment to understand our place on this planet.

YOGA - Sessions are held at several locations throughout the property, coupled with a quiet policy (no constant loud music or animation teams);’ this is a perfect destination for wellness seekers.

GARDENS - Created as a small wildlife paradise, our unique garden is a guide through Egyptian wild flora, where almost every plant has been used in traditional medicine & has economic value supporting the life of the local nomads inhabiting the Egyptian deserts. The garden was created in 2017 in cooperation with Dr. Irina Springuel, a former professor at the Aswan University, who resides most of the year at Wadi Sabarah. She will be happy to guide you through more than 2000 plants with over 40 local species.
