Sunny. Pleasantly warm.
7 day forecast

The swirls of candy-colored rock at Colored Canyon are a popular day trip destination from Sharm el Sheikh, forming some of the most impressive natural features in the world.

You'd swear the patterns covering the walls of this steep, narrow canyon were the work of a talented artist, rather than the forces of nature working their magic over millennia.

It’s a pretty easy hike along the floor of the canyon, around 800 m (half a mile) long. This is a popular spot, so to appreciate the canyon’s tranquil beauty, try to arrive early, ideally before breakfast.

Doing what: Private 4WD Jeep Safari and Hiking in the Colored Canyon

This excursion was a once in a life time kinda thing and we really loved hiking through colored canyon and desert safari. Our tour guide was a very kind, caring and intelligent person. We just loved travelling with him.

Really enjoyed this but be prepared for a long journey wihtout air conditioning in the jeep. Great walk throug the canyon but you do need a reasonable level of fitness and agility.
