Color Canyon Salama and Dahab
– Description:

Join Nile Voyage  on an epic full-day tour to the stunning Colorful Canyon Salama, followed by a fun-filled visit to Dahab, complete with camel rides, snorkeling, and more. This tour combines nature, culture, and adventure in one exciting itinerary.

The Colorful Canyon Salama and Dahab tour from Sharm El Sheikh is one of the most amazing natural wonders on the Sinai Peninsula. Located about 150 km from Sharm El Sheikh, near the St. Catherine Monastery and the town of Nuweiba, the Color Canyon Salama is a striking geological formation, likely created by an earthquake. It’s a natural cleft in the sandstone cliffs, a preserved remnant of an ancient seabed.

Over centuries, wind and water carved deep patterns into the red sandstone. On this tour, guided by an expert from Nile Voyage, you’ll walk through narrow passages, sometimes beneath overhanging rocks. For maximum enjoyment, we recommend wearing comfortable sportswear and sturdy shoes suitable for hiking and rocky terrain.

This tour also includes camel riding, swimming in Dahab, and visiting the vibrant town of Dahab.

Tour Program:

Your Color Canyon Salama and Dahab adventure begins with hotel pickup in Sharm El Sheikh between 7:30 and 8:30 AM (depending on your hotel location). You’ll travel by air-conditioned bus through the scenic Sinai Mountains—approximately a 1.5-hour drive.

On arrival in Dahab, you’ll transfer to 4×4 jeeps for a 20-minute ride into the mountains, leading to Color Canyon Salama.

During the hike, you’ll witness a rainbow of colors in the rocks—mainly shades of brown, red, and sandy tones—with beautiful mineral patterns and formations carved by nature.

Next, enjoy a 20-minute camel ride along the seafront, followed by snorkeling in the famous Three Pools reef area in Dahab, home to stunning coral gardens and exotic marine species. (Note: Snorkeling gear rental is not included. Wearing a life jacket is mandatory for safety.)

Afterward, lunch will be served at a restaurant or beach cafe in Dahab (drinks are not included in the price).

Это было просто великолепно !!!!!

Море положительных эмоций .

Все чётко, хорошая программа , замечательный гид !

Организация в этой фирме на высшем уровне.

Нашла эту фирму в интернете, по оценкам других туристов 5 из 5 звёзд ⭐. Решила купить у них экскурсию ( в отеле было намного дороже , не могли ни как назначить день поездки , все время что то не складывалось ).

Ни разу не пожалела , поеду с этой командой ещё и на кораблике !

Всем рекомендую – покупайте здесь экскурсии – и все пройдет замечательно !!! ( еще и кучу денег сэкономите )) 👍👍👍
