Dahab White Canyon & Colored Canyon Hike

Spend a full day exploring two of Sinai's most striking slot canyons, both reachable from Dahab in a single, well-paced outing. You'll start in the White Canyon, squeezing through narrow, sun-bleached passages that call for a bit of scrambling and light climbing, with walls that glow almost silver in the desert light. From there, you'll move on to the Colored Canyon — the more famous of the two — where bands of red, gold and violet rock ripple across the walls like something painted rather than formed. A local Bedouin guide leads both hikes, sharing the trails' history and pointing out details in the rock most visitors would otherwise walk right past. It's a trip built for anyone who wants a proper hiking day away from the coast — two very different canyon landscapes, one guide, and no need to book two separate excursions to see them both.
