THE GOLD TOUR
ancient goldmines
On this trip we will visit two different ancient gold-mining sites while travelling through an astounding landscape of colourful mountains and wadis. You will see the different milling techniques that were used in Ptolemaic and in Roman times to pulverize the gold bearing rocks. In the shade of an acacia tree the Bedouin will prepare refreshments such as tea and coffee. On the way back to the coast we pause shortly to enjoy sunset.
The whole trip takes about 5 hours.
