Spend a full day linking Sinai’s geological drama with Red Sea coral gardens: hike the Colored Canyon, snorkel the famous Blue Hole, ride a camel along the shore, and share a Bedouin-style BBQ lunch in Dahab.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the A/C minivan onto the rim of Sinai’s coastline and the Red Sea opens like a sheet of glass—blue deep enough to pull your attention below. The day unfolds in chapters: a walk through the Colorful Canyon’s sculpted walls, a stretch of shoreline where the sea’s coral gardens wait, and the slow, rhythmic sway of a camel ride as Bedouin hosts bring tea and charcoal-fired lunch to shore.
