The Three Peaks Egypt Challenge was founded in 2015 by the same team behind the Sinai Trail: Egypt’s first long distance hiking trail. Our team oversees the ongoing development and growth of the challenge, provides information about it as widely as possible, and fixes official challenge attempts. 

SALEM RAMADAN Salem Abu Ramadan is another tribesman of the Jebeleya, from St Katherine. He walked further than any Bedouin of the region in scouting routes for the Sinai Trail, walking thousands of kilometres over five years. Today, he works as a head guide on the Sinai Trail. He is also a founder and head guide of the Three Peaks Egypt Challenge. Salem has guided dozens of challenges on the route, including individuals and groups from all around the world. He is a mountain man, known for his toughness, excellent route-finding and knowledge of the Sinai and its mountains. Nobody of his generation has walked the mountains of the Sinai more widely. 

BEN HOFFLER Ben is one of the founders of the Sinai Trail. He oversaw its development into one of the Middle East’s leading hiking trails from the very beginning. Parallel to the Sinai Trail, he created the Red Sea Mountain Trail with Bedouin of the Maaza tribe. He authored Trailblazer’s 2014 guidebook Sinai: The Trekking Guide and is a founder of the Sinai is Safe Campaign, which aims to create a counter-narrative to bad news about the Sinai. He developed the route for the Three Peaks Egypt Challenge and is one of its founders today. His professional focus is on exploring how modern tourism can help conserve the endangered heritage of the Middle East’s Bedouin communities.
