Sharm El Sheikh: Colored Canyon Jeep Tour with Blue Hole & Dahab
See all 41 photos

Overview

Discover two of the Sinai Peninsula's most spectacular sights in one day trip from Sharm El Sheikh — the colorful Colored Canyon and the legendary Blue Hole. After hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, drive to the coastal town of Dahab for a relaxed camel ride along the shore, with an optional quad bike ride for extra adventure. Then snorkel the crystal-clear waters of Blue Hole National Park, gliding over vivid coral reefs and Red Sea marine life (for safety, snorkeling is in the protected park area beside the Blue Hole). Enjoy a buffet lunch by the sea, then ride a 4x4 jeep into the desert to the Colored Canyon — a sandstone gorge glowing in yellow, red, purple, and gold. On the way back, browse Dahab's markets for handmade souvenirs before a comfortable return drive. Camel ride, snorkeling, desert canyon, beachside lunch, and free hotel transfers — the easiest, best-organized way to see Sinai's desert and sea in one day.

2/5 - better experience with other excursions

Arrives on time, A lot of driving approx 4 hours driving to and fro. 1 minute on camels compared to others in the area Extra 10 pounds to access blue hole to snorkel, as everything else has been sub standard Lunch- very small and unhygienic, with flies over the food drinks not free Jeep safari- 15 people to one Jeep very tight, Coloured canyon very good views enjoyed- 20 min walk

Wonderful trip- 100% recommended

Fabulous trip to the Blue Hole and coloured canyon today. Osama was a great guide and super helpful. Would 100% recommend the canyon - just stunning and snorkelling at the Blue Hole is a bucket list tick!

Brutta esperienza!

Questa è stata la nostra terza escursione in Egitto, quindi avevamo un termine di paragone con le precedenti. Levo mezza stella per ogni cosa andata male. DESCRIZIONE DEL TOUR POCO CHIARA: nella descrizione (pre acquisto) il tour prevedeva di poter escludere la tappa al sito di snorkeling (Blue Hole) e poiché avevamo già fatto snorkeling nella precedente escursione, abbiamo appunto deciso di escluderlo.. ma.. aimé.. ci siamo trovati a fare lo stesso identico tour degli altri, senza poter impegnare il tempo diversamente.. perché privi di costume, telo mare o altra attrezzatura, dato che questo "piccolo dettaglio" non era stato specificato dall'organizzazione. MUSICA SUL PULMINO: nei due tour precedenti a questo, entrambi gli autisti hanno messo musica di vario genere.. italiana, araba, internazionale, dance.. ecc. In questo tour ( dove siamo rimasti in pulmino 5 ore circa) ci hanno fatto ascoltare una sorta di mantra di preghiera araba per tutto il tempo ed a tutto volume!!! Davvero pesantissimo!!! MEZZO DI TRASPORTO: forse il peggiore fra i vari tour fatti in questa vacanza.. infatti nonostante la giornata ventilata abbiamo sofferto il caldo perché il climatizzatore era forse insufficiente a raffrescare l'ambiente e le sospensioni erano andate.. vi lascio immaginare il comfort di viaggio! Se aggiungiamo che lo stile di guida "spigoloso" dell' autista non è stato proprio il top.. il quadro è completo! GUIDA: brava persona ma completamente assente, zero empatia, zero storyitelling, zero sorrisi, zero capacità di problem solving. LUOGHI VISITATI: davvero niente di che.. Dahab (luogo insignificante e molto sporco). Blue Hole (non lo abbiamo visto). Giro in cammello (considerato come erano maltrattati "vedi foto" abbiamo volentieri evitato di farlo). Small canyon (ci vuole coraggio a chiamarlo canyon!!! Davvero small e molto molto sporco). PRANZO: (cibo scadente. Non ci hanno dato da bere neanche la "famosa" bottiglia d'acqua inclusa nel tour.. ne in quel momento ne mai). CONCLUSIONI: se volete fare questa esperienza cercate un altro tour operator!

A day full of discoveries

Super dense day with lots of things to see and do. Snorkeling in the Blue Hole just amazing. The meal in the dive lounges is wonderful and diverse. The small trio raid in 4x4 then the passage in the canyon come to end the day in style. Attentive staff and little care! Thanks to Osama

Nice day trip

Very nice day overall. I liked the canyon very much. I expected to see the colored canyon I was in years ago, but this one was smaller, less colors and more relief. Still, very beautiful, definitely worth it. I'm happy I've seen them both now. Why I don't give five stars - it would have been nice to know in advance that for snorkeling the equipment rental (fins, calypso, life vest) is mandatory and costs 12 euros. I came with my own mask and would have been just happy with it. Felt very clumsy in the water with the vest. I understand - safety first :) Just for me it was unnecessary. Also would have liked to have more time to snorkel in Blue Hole. Lunch was tasty, short camel ride OK. The road between Sharm el Sheikh and Dahab is really scenic. Guide was really helpful and made everything clear in quite good English. Thank you!

A pleasant escape

I would like to thank the organization of this agency. During the confirmation by whatsapp to have the appointment time there was a communication error. We waited at a naama bay checkpoint while the driver waited for us outside the hotel finally. After an exchange on whatsapp the organizer found us two places for the next day. This excursion will make you discover the reality of the south Sino, its history and the activities (camel, snorkeling, lunch and jeep) are done in landscapes scenery for the shot. Even if the dedicated time is a short hair it is still a day to do absolutely. The value for money is unbeatable and the Egyptians are very welcoming people. Thank you from France to the team that accompanied us today. Christophe and Valerie

Da fare sicuramente!

Per la cifra che abbiamo pagato, é stato tutto magnifico e bene o male, ci siamo veramente goditi questo tour molto più di altri che abbiamo fatto. La guida e il ragazzo che ci ha fatto le foto erano molto simpatici. Le foto lasciano a desiderare, ma per 5 euro, sono comunque un ricordo. Consiglio vivamente il tour, é veramente bello, é un'esperienza.

Nice trip, rich program, nice experience

The experience was great! The guides are friendly, and the program was rich and interesting. The places are beautiful. Some improvements that the company can make to make the tour more convenient for the tourist is to send the details and the program of the day before the trip and what is needed (like walking shoes and the scarf).
