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.

Wycieczka do Kairu samolotem z Sharm el sheikh

November 10, 2024

Wspaniała wycieczka, wszystko zgodnie z planem. Za dodatkową opłatą można skorzystać z rejsu po Nilu i przejechać się na wielbłądach pod Piramidami. Widok na Piramidy i Sfinksa bezcenny. Przewodnik mówił przyzwoicie po polsku i opawiadał ciekawe rzeczy. Standardowo była perfumeria i sklep z papirusami. Warto kupić wcześniej vizę by uniknąć dodatkowych opłat.

Petra (Jordania) z Sharm El Sheikh

November 8, 2024

Wycieczka bardzo męcząca ale Petra niesamowita. Gorąco polecam wybrać opcję z polską przewodniczką Alicją. Wszystko było bardzo dobrze zorganizowane i bezpieczne. Nie było ukrytych kosztów. Najlepsza wycieczka na której byłam, spędziliśmy na głównej atrakcji 3,5 godziny.

Kolorowy kanion SALAMA i Dahab 5 w 1

November 7, 2024

Wycieczka dobrze zorganizowana, był krótki przejazd na wielbłądach, snurkowanie, obiad, przejazd przez pustynię i kolorowy kanion Salama. Trzeba przygotować się na dodatkowe koszty wypożyczenia sprzętu do snurkowania i koszty zdjęć od fotografa który był razem z nami, oczywiście jest to dobrowolne. WC w kilku miejscach płatne. Przewodnik mówił po rosyjsku i angielsku. Największe wrażenie zrobiła na mnie rafa koralowa i przejazd jeepem przez pustynię.
