Dove & Pigeon Hunting



Dove Hunting in Egypt is available throughout the year. Doves are acrobatic fliers and the hunter’s success is pinned to his shooting prowess. We hunt doves over the wheat fields, the corn fields and especially the sunflower fields, one of the doves’ favorite foods. We also hunt in the olive groves and roosting areas in the late afternoon, and that, too, can provide unbelievable action and numbers of birds. Dove shooting is done in two phases, an early morning phase, within 10 minutes of the lodge, when the birds are headed to food and water in the morning, and an afternoon phase, when the birds are returning to the roosting areas. In between shoots, you will have a chance to rest and enjoy the food and culture that is Egypt.
