Overview

Leave Dahab behind and drive deep into the raw Sinai interior aboard a 4×4 jeep, guided by Bedouin drivers who have navigated these routes their entire lives. The centrepiece is the Coloured Canyon — a narrow sandstone slot canyon whose walls shift through ochre, crimson, purple, and gold depending on the light.

The day also takes in open desert plains, ancient Bedouin settlements, a traditional lunch cooked on open fire, and a final stop for sunset over the Sinai mountains. No experience required, no physical demands beyond comfortable walking. Suitable for families, solo travellers, and groups of up to 8.

Itinerary

  1. 7:30

    Hotel pickup in Dahab

    Your driver meets you at your accommodation. The jeep seats up to 8 — groups may share with other travellers unless a private booking is made.

  2. 09:00

    Coloured Canyon walk

    1.5–2 hours exploring the canyon on foot with your Bedouin guide. The narrow passages, layered rock formations, and filtered light are best in the morning. Some light scrambling involved.
