Trip Overview

Discover the contrasting landscapes of the Sinai Peninsula on a jeep adventure from Sharm El Sheikh to Dahab. Travel through the desert in air-conditioned transportation before continuing by jeep toward the dramatic Colored Canyon, where you can walk among naturally sculpted sandstone formations in striking shades of red, orange, gold, and purple.

Continue toward the Red Sea coast and the Blue Hole area, one of Dahab’s best-known marine attractions. Depending on the package selected, you can visit Blue Hole National Park and Abu Galum and enjoy time for snorkeling. Snorkeling equipment is available as an optional extra, or you can bring your own.

The experience also includes a traditional Bedouin-style lunch at a beach camp in Dahab, with views of the Red Sea and surrounding mountains. A camel ride along the coastline adds another distinctly Sinai experience, while selected packages can also include an ATV adventure along the coast and mountains.

Before returning to Sharm El Sheikh, enjoy a shopping stop in Dahab where you can browse local products and souvenirs.

With desert landscapes, canyon scenery, Red Sea views, cultural experiences and optional adventure activities combined in one excursion, this Blue Hole and Colored Canyon trip offers a varied way to discover Dahab beyond the resort area

Proper Day Out. Picked up 8am dropped off after 5pm. The price paid on here includes lunch at the snorkelling place, a camel ride by the sea and the jeep safari to and from the canyon. Only extras were the rental of snorkelling gear and life jacket for 15 euros (you don’t have to do the snorkelling). Great day out and value for money.
