Overview

🌈 Coloured Canyon & Blue Hole Tour from Sharm El Sheikh

Embark on the Coloured Canyon & Blue Hole Tour from Sharm El Sheikh — a unique blend of nature, adventure, and cultural encounters across the Sinai Peninsula.


🚐 Desert Drive & Canyon Exploration

Start your journey with a convenient hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned van. As you travel through the dramatic desert landscape, admire the rugged beauty of the Sinai mountains unfolding around you.

After approximately two hours, you’ll arrive at the Coloured Canyon, just south of Dahab. Prepare to be amazed by twisting sandstone paths and vibrant rock formations in hues of red, yellow, and purple. In winter months, you may even witness hidden springs that briefly surface — adding unexpected charm to the hike.

The guided walk lasts around 45 minutes and offers exceptional photo opportunities as well as tranquil moments in nature.


🐫 Camel Trek & Coastal Ride

Once you complete your canyon exploration, continue onward to Dahab — a chilled-out coastal town on the Gulf of Aqaba. Here, a 20-minute camel ride awaits along the scenic shoreline.

Feel the rhythm of the camel’s stride as the Red Sea sparkles beside you. The combination of mountain views, clear waters, and peaceful desert air makes this segment of the tour truly unforgettable.


🤿 Snorkeling in the Blue Hole

Afterward, head to the world-famous Blue Hole, renowned for its dazzling coral reefs and marine biodiversity. With your snorkeling gear, dive into crystal-clear waters filled with vibrant fish and underwater beauty.

You’ll have about 45 minutes to explore this unique site — whether you’re gliding above the reef or simply floating and taking in the views beneath the surface.


🍴 Bedouin Lunch & Dahab Bazaar Visit

Following your snorkel adventure, take a break in a shaded Bedouin tent by the water’s edge. A delicious traditional lunch will be served, letting you enjoy authentic Sinai flavors while relaxing near the sea.

Before heading back to Sharm El Sheikh, enjoy some time in Dahab’s local bazaar. From handmade jewelry to fragrant spices and artisan goods, it’s the perfect place to find a souvenir or gift.
