Overview

The Coloured Canyon near Nuweiba is a narrow sandstone gorge, walls up to forty metres high, banded in ochre, rust, violet and near-white by mineral seepage over millions of years. The walk through it takes about ninety minutes and is easy — flat sand underfoot, occasional scrambles — and the light between the walls changes constantly as the sun moves.

Afterwards you drop down to Dahab for lunch and free time on the beachfront: the Blue Hole is twenty minutes north if you want to snorkel it, or you can spend two hours on floor cushions at the Lighthouse with a book. Camel and Bedouin tea stops are built into the desert leg.
