The Wadi El Gemal Nationa Park ( Wadi El Gemal meaning “Valley of the Camels” ) is an extensive area of land and coastal water lying to the south of Marsa Alam. It includes many diverse ecological habitats and a rich variety of animal and bird types, including several endangered species. The area was designated a national park by the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency in January 2003.
The park covers a total of some 5,000 square kilometres, including several islands, a stretch of mangrove rich coast line and an extensive mountainous area inland which surrounds one of Egypt’s largest desert wadis.
The Wadi El Gemal area acts to channel any water from the mountains towards the coastline, but some is trapped underground which is a key factor supporting the national park’s vibrant ecosystem.
The valley is most easily accessed by an entrance from the coast road located approximately 45 km south of the small town of Marsa Alam. Do not try to enter on your own as it is easy to get lost inside the national park and it might be difficult for rescuers to find you.
Animals that inhabit the wadi include many rare species, such as the nubian ibex and the hyrax as well as wild donkeys, camels and gazelle.
