Waadi Degla: World Challenge and International Award Training
Tamara Brunskill
IB CAS & International Award Coordinator
Lying in the northern part of the Eastern Desert, running east to west for 30km to drain into the Nile Valley at Maadi, sits Wadi Degla – a winding valley that stretches out as far as the eye can see. Encompassing 60 km², flanked by rock formations around 50m high, this natural protectorate is a perfect escape for hikers, bikers, runners, rock climbers and nature lovers alike.
This is where a group of enthusiastic IB CAS and AS1 International Award students have been training on their weekends in preparation for their upcoming expeditions which will take place both locally, within Egypt, and overseas in remarkable Ethiopia – one of Africa’s most dramatic and beautiful countries.
