The Coloured Canyon presents one of the most magnificent rock formations in the world. Driving through the Wadi Watir (wadi = valley) to reach the canyon, the visitor will realize very soon that it doesn't have to be green to be beautiful.
The vegetation that you see throughout the drive and the hike is very limited. No more than some lonelyacacias, green capparis(capparis sinaica), tamarisk trees, willow trees, sodom apples(which are poisonous) and desert pumpkin.
Now, the rock formations are an incomparable attraction as they vary from sandstone to limestone, granite and veins of basalt dominate the scenery through the entire hike. The road to the Coloured Canyon is well paved, and snakes nicely through magnificent mountains and bold, rugged rock-formations of awe-inspiring beauty.
Then, by a cluster of date palms, it turns onto a gravel road for about 15 minutes As you reach the summit, rehydrated and energized, you are ready to descend.
Drive for approx 2 hours by Land Cruiser (4x4) into the desert. Enjoy an hour's walk through the Canyon, taking in the extraordinary colours and shapes of the rocks After a short refreshment break, continue by Jeep to Nuweiba for lunch
Drive for approx 1,20 hours to Dahab, the biggest shopping area in South Sinai, Where you will get the chance to browse for local Egyptian handicrafts, carpets, jewelers, perfumes, papyrus and other souvenirs Drive back to Sharm, approx 1,20 hours
