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.

Świetny przewodnik mówiący w języku polskim, który zadbał nie tylko o naszą wiedzę i ciekawe opowieści o Egipcie, ale również zadbał o nasze bezpieczeństwo w trakcie podróży i udzielił nam kilka istotnych wskazówek odnośnie zakupów na bazarach pod największymi atrakcjami, aby nikt nas nie zrobił w balona. 🙂 Polecamy wszystkim, którzy się wahają.

Dobra komunikacja w języku polskim, na miejscu przewodnik Tamir opowie wam o Egipcie czego nie dowiecie się z Internetu.

Polecam, cena o połowę niższa niż w hotelu.

Wspaniałe Safari, bardzo pomocna i sympatyczna przewodniczka. 15 letni syn zachwycony wycieczką, jazdą terenówką, quadami i buggy. Świetnie spędzone przedpołudnie.

Świetna wycieczka tłumacz Srbastian najlepszy z najlepszych 👍👍👍👍

Wycieczka męcząca ze wzgledu na temperatury, ale warta polecenia każdemu, kto jest chłonny wiedzy i doświadczeń związanych z Egiptem.
