One of the natural wonders of the Sinai, the Colored Canyon is awe-inspiring. Take a walk in between dramatic sandstone canyon walls streaked with melting yellows, purples, reds, magentas and gold. In certain places the canyon walls reach up to 40 meters. You feel as if you are enclosed in a spectacular coloring book.
Formed by the natural elements over centuries, the walls of Colored Canyon cascade with colors as a result of ferrous oxide and manganese. Consequently, a natural maze has been formed that is excellent for exploring and taking photographs. A haven of tranquility, Colored Canyon promises its visitors peaceful moments and silence.
Day trips to the Colored Canyon can be arranged from Dahab, Nuweiba, or Taba. |
