About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Schloomi0 contributionsFantastic Fam!!! 🙏🏼😇 🤲🏽BAM 💥 just like that, Insight Seekers 🪨⛰️ 🧗, yet again, outdid themselves with a truly inspiring experience and an ever so kind reminder to ‘just BE’. I will BE and definitely return for more BEING with you! To be honest, it really doesn’t get any better than spending the afternoon in a South Sinai Wadi rock climbing the natural wondrous mountains with the incredibly trusted experts of Insight Seekers and your close friends!!! We all formed even deeper bonds learning with each other and exposing personal vulnerabilities as a family. Not to mention the extra bonuses of having a birthday boy 🌚 and the full moon 🌝 too!Written June 21, 2024
- shaima a0 contributionsWonderfull!Honestly, I have no words to explain how unique and spectacular the experience was! I thought this activity was for a certain type of people, not for everyone. But surprisingly, it was for everyone. It's not just rock climbing and spending time in the desert; it's even more profound than that! Balal and his team (Arnoub, Deia, Joum3a, and Hemadan) were such kind people who made us feel just like family. I am so grateful to have met them all. I definitely recommend it, and I would love to come back for sure.Written December 5, 2023
- thanaei0 contributionsAMAZING experience! ✨As a first time climber I felt so safe and comfortable with the insights seekers team. They were so knowledgeable and so incredibly patient and kind. Not only did they guide me through each step but at my breaking points they motivated me to push past my limits and achieve what I thought was impossible. It was a beautiful experience with beautiful people and the insights I gathered will last a lifetime! I’m looking forward to more adventures with them in the near future!Written November 8, 2023
- Omar S0 contributionsI got hooked from the first try!I had an amazing experience spending the morning rock climbing with Belal and his wonderful team! We went over the basics really quick and soon I was setting new records for myself. The vibes were simply amazing, it was a safe space to learn, explore with yourself and others! Definitely, will do it again and next plan is to go for a few days climb. I could go on and on talking about how great it was climbing with these beautiful souls, so to sum it all up this day exceeded my expectations for sure and I can’t wait to be back :)Written August 10, 2023
- Omareldahmaa0 contributionsThe best experience i have ever made in my lifeThis is the best experience i have ever made in the last period of my life, When you have the chance to face your fears at such a close moment and you know more about yourself, this is the best experience you have to try! Thank you @insights_seekers for helping us to experience ourselvesWritten August 3, 2023

- I4900ABcharlese0 contributionsSport climbing with Belal and Abanoub as instructors/partnersA great climbing holiday with an experienced and capable team that made me feel very welcome and part of their group. Very atmospheric trips out to climb in pickup and evening returns at dusk. Some good climbing on crimpy steep granite on north facing wall in 6c/7s range. Mostly well bolted but a few of the bolder routes on other faces can use a few cams and wires.Written July 6, 2023
- rowanelleithy0 contributionsHiking-rock climbingInsight seekers team is absolutely the best. We spent two great days full of so much fun and adventure, but also so true and deep. They took us on a one day hike to the colored canyon and it was breathtaking. We also went rock climbing and had the best time. highly recommended to any one looking for connection to nature. I’ll definitely be back for more adventures.Written July 2, 2023

- 626majal0 contributionsYESBest folks ever! Very knowledgeable, skilled & compassionate climbers. Even moreso - the culture amidst the team is a delight! They clearly all adore each other and it seeps out into how they are with the climbing participants; joyful, present and STOKED to be there. Belal is a wonderful instructor, insightful beyond the usual basic direction. His approach to climbing (And, dare I say - life) is artful. Thank you, thank you! - a vagabond AustralianWritten June 26, 2023

NYE in the Wilderness was the best new years I've ever had. One of a kind. Our small group was in the middle of the desert trekking, climbing and reflecting on the past year. The morning of new years day we climbed a mountain to watch a spectacular sunrise.
The trip was very well organised and Belal wasn't just any tour guide. He treated us like friends and shared his experiences in the desert to help us on our journeys, not just in the desert but in our lives. Belal used the best Bedouin guides who prepared the best meals. Compared to the tours in the White Desert, the food here was good quality, local produce and not made for mass tour buses.
It was a real authentic trek in the Sinai desert, we didn't come across a single other tourist, only one local Bedouin guy!
I would love to go do another desert trek with Belal and Insights Seekers. I highly recommend them!!

I knew very little of the itinerary before going and despite of being jet-lagged I felt energised and overwhelmed by the powerful energy from the moment our adventure started.
We climbed mountains, walked through caves and discovered a landscape that was much more diverse and vibrant than I'd expected. The landscapes and sights were breathtaking, the food was delicious and sharing stories and insights with each other both inspiring and insightful.
All in all, walking through the Sinai desert with someone who knows it as well as Belal does was quite a remarkable experience. He is an amazing and inspiring human being with so much love and knowledge, and a great guide both in the physical and spiritual sense.
Though there are many things I could say about our specific journey, I believe each group is different and that this is something that needs to be experienced. I would recommend it to anyone that wishes to disconnect from your every day life and reconnect with nature, other humans and most importantly yourself.

It was an amazing inspiring tour. We walked in a small group of 8 people through the desert with 5 camels and 3 Bedouins. Every evening we stopped for the night at different places. Night by night we sat together with candles in the rock. Sang songs and shared funny stories. The night sky was so beautiful.
We walked in the desert and the view changed from amazing to wow and back. The colours of the stones looks like a painter have done it.
The Bedouins cooked and took care of us. They were so friendly, helpful and gave us all information we needed.
Get connection to the camels and feed them was so special.
Belal and Dan presented the desert and gave us information about the history and plants. They guided us perfectly the whole time. Helpful and funny guides.
We had a lot of fun to slide down a sand dune or climbed on some rocks.

This was an absolutely beautiful and challenging expedition! We climbed Mount Sinai which was an incredible feat but also a spiritual one. The expedition organizers were super organized and in tune with every individual's fitness level often adjusting the pace as required.
The trip organizers also told us stories relevant to the majestic scenery and journey. They encouraged us to be introspective regarding many topics.
All in all, would highly recommend it!

Me and two friends went hiking with Insights Seekers for 3 days in the desert and loved it! Belal guided us together with a local Bedouin guide and shared with us his experience of the desert while the Bedouin guide shared part of his culture with us. We walked reasonable distances, passed through amazing landscapes and slept under the most beautiful night sky! I had my own gear but my friends didn't so Belal lended them all the sleeping gears they needed. We had delicious food cooked by the fire and lots of tea. And I got to ride on camel for part of the trip :)

The beautiful mountains are always amazing and healing, but they are hard and the weather can be a bit crazy too, Insights seekers team made it fun though.
They professionally took care of all the logistics, loads of food, and with the local's expertise to make the most of it, and we sure did make the most of it.
Hiking, canyoning, camping, connecting with like-minded people, we did it all and we enjoyed the tranquility of the mountains and the trails, only because they took care of all the rest.

My first expedition with Insight Seekers was on New Year's Eve 2020. I will remember those days forever. The aim of Insight Seekers was not just to guide us through the desert.
They encouraged us to observe nature and explore ourselves in it. We shared reflections, experiences and life lessons, becoming a group of friends who sought Insights in walking through sand dunes or summiting mountains.
What Insight Seekers do is inspiring, authentic and genuine. I hope to join them soon in the future!

We went for a rock climbing adventure day me and my partner with these beautiful people, it was my first time climbing and after this experience with insights seekers I can say it won’t be the last.
They were very respectful, organized, and very passionate about their activities.
I highly recommend this family to anyone interested in outdoor activities around Sinai.
Thank you guys for sharing these amazing moments, can’t wait to join you in the wadi again and again.
Much love.

This hike is challenging and rewarding in equal measure. The landscape at times feels otherworldly while the nights are just pure magic. And as if it wasn’t enough that the eyes were already delighted, the traditional Bedouin hospitality will ensure that your palate also goes on a wonderful journey.
This tour is a must for all adventurers and desert lovers.

Our 4-day desert trip was simply unique. The breathtaking scenery of the desert and the great team (a big thank you to Belal and the Bedouins) made our tour very special. We had such a wonderful time with great conversations, beautiful places and absolutely delicious food. Highly recommended!
