Discover one of Egypt’s most breathtaking natural wonders on the Colored Canyon Trip from Sharm El Sheikh — a full-day adventure combining desert exploration, natural beauty, and local culture.
This journey takes you deep into the Sinai Peninsula, where millions of years of erosion have carved a maze of towering sandstone walls glowing in shades of red, orange, gold, and purple.
If you love photography, hiking, and nature, the Colored Canyon is an unforgettable experience that captures the raw beauty of Egypt’s desert landscape.
The day starts early, around 7:00 AM, when you’re picked up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
Travel comfortably in a modern 4×4 Land Cruiser, driven by an experienced desert guide who knows every curve of the Sinai’s rugged terrain.
The journey itself is part of the thrill — as you leave the city behind, the road unfolds into endless desert plains surrounded by mountains that shift color with the rising sun.
After about two hours, you’ll reach the entrance of the legendary Colored Canyon.
Prepare for an awe-inspiring walk through the heart of the canyon, where time and nature have sculpted incredible formations.
The sandstone walls rise high above you, shimmering in a kaleidoscope of colors — from deep reds and golds to soft pinks and purples.
Your guide will lead you through narrow passageways and small climbs, ensuring safety while pointing out fascinating rock patterns formed by wind and water over millions of years.
This part of the trip is not just a walk — it’s a journey through nature’s art gallery. Every step reveals a new angle, a new texture, and a new color palette that changes with the light.
The Colored Canyon hike is moderately challenging but absolutely worth it.
You’ll squeeze through narrow crevices, climb over smooth boulders, and jump across natural formations — all with the support and laughter of your group.
Don’t worry if you’re not an experienced hiker — your guide will assist you throughout, making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable.
After exploring the canyon, relax and recharge as you head to the coastal town of Dahab.
Once a quiet Bedouin fishing village, Dahab has transformed into a bohemian seaside resort that blends charm, culture, and tranquility.
Enjoy a tasty Egyptian lunch in a local restaurant — usually featuring grilled chicken, kofta, rice, salads, and traditional tahina.
The food is freshly prepared and served with cold drinks, giving you the perfect energy boost after your canyon adventure.
After lunch, take some time to explore Dahab’s relaxed atmosphere.
Walk along the waterfront promenade lined with colorful bazaars, coffee shops, and artisan stores.
You’ll find beautiful handmade souvenirs, from Bedouin jewelry and carpets to perfumes, papyrus, and traditional Egyptian crafts.
It’s the ideal moment to unwind, sip a cold drink by the sea, and reflect on your desert experience before heading back.
In the afternoon, your 4×4 vehicle will take you back through the desert landscapes, offering one last look at the dramatic Sinai scenery.
The ride back to Sharm El Sheikh takes around one to one and a half hours, with drop-off directly at your hotel.
You’ll return just before sunset — tired but inspired, with your camera full of memories and your heart full of wonder.
