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.

Обязательно вернусь в Луксор именно через Нил Вояж!

February 16, 2025

Вообщем, удивительная ээкскурсия! Знакомство с Египтом лучше начинать именно здесь. Карнакский храм потряс своими огромными колонами и хорошо сохранившимися барельефами. Гробницы в долине царей удевили нас, цветная краска сохранилась очень хорошо. Гид культурный, водители и автобус замечательные, это радует. Если попаду еще раз в Египет ,обязательно вернусь в Луксор именно через Нил Вояж!

Recomand cu drag aceasta agentie. Sunt seriosi si profesionisti. Am fost in excursie de o zi la Cairo. Totul a fost minunat, ne-am simtit in siguranta, ne- au luat de la hotel si ne- au adus inapoi. Au respectat programul, pretul este corect si mult mai mic decat cel oferit de alte agentii. Amir , ghidul nostru vorbitor de limba romana a fost extraordinar si a avut grija de noi toti. Am ales excursia Super Cairo, am fost 2 adulti si un copil de 11 ani si totul a fost ok. Recomand cu incredere si caldura. Rezervarile se pot face si pe whatapp la numarul care apare pe site. Ei raspund repede iar biletul se plateste in autocar in ziua excursiei.

Przewodnik mówi dobrze po polsku. Bardzo miły kierowca i opiekun wycieczki. Marnowanie czasu na perfumerię.

Wycieczka była świetnie zorganizowana i przebiegła bardzo sprawnie. Przewodnik mówił zarówno po angielsku, jak i rosyjsku, co zapewniło dobre zrozumienie wszystkich przekazywanych informacji. Transport był szybki i bezproblemowy, a powrót do hotelu odbył się zgodnie z opisanym harmonogramem, co dodatkowo podkreśliło profesjonalizm organizatorów.

W planie wycieczki przewidziano również zwiedzanie Dahab, jednak wygląda na to, że była to atrakcja dostępna tylko dla osób, które zdecydowały się na dodatkową opcję jazdy quadami. Zwiedzanie odbywało się w trakcie przejażdżki, natomiast osoby, które nie wykupiły tej opcji, niestety nie miały możliwości uczestniczenia w tej części programu.

Dodatkowo, zabrakło mi doświadczenia prawdziwego, autentycznego egipskiego targowiska. Choć w programie znalazła się wizyta w perfumerii i sklepie z biżuterią, to jednak te miejsca nie oddają w pełni klimatu lokalnego bazaru, z jego zapachami, smakami i kolorami, które są esencją Egiptu.

Pomimo tych drobnych niedociągnięć, całość wycieczki oceniam bardzo pozytywnie. Była to wspaniała przygoda, którą będę długo wspominać. Dziękuję organizatorom za profesjonalizm i świetną atmosferę! 😊

Recomand ca agenție, sunt Marsa Alam la 160 km de Hurgada ,am fost ieri în excursie în Luxor-Valea Regilor si mâine voi merge tot cu ei în Hurgada pentru plimbarea cu Semi Submarinul și înot cu delfinii la Delfinariul din Hurgada,au mult mai mici preturile decât celelalte agenții locale sau Dertur agenția cu care am venit în Egip,foarte serioși și bine organizati datorita preturilor afisate pe site și recenziilor bune lăsate și de alți compatrioti care au apelat m a făcut sa apelez la ei,deci recomand cu toată încrederea în urma excursiei făcută pe 28.01.2025 și cea care v a urma pe 30.01.2025 de care sigur ne vom bucura.
