Dahab Snorkeling Safari Colored Canyon from Sharm El Sheikh

Dahab city. Have you heard of him? What about the natural phenomenon called “Three Pools”? Well, maybe you know about the Colored Canyon? If all this is not familiar to you, then you will definitely be surprised to learn that there is a real planet Mars an hour’s drive from Sharm El Sheikh! Yes, yes, you read everything correctly, since the Salama canyon itself (Colored Canyon) in its unique structure is very similar to the structure of the planet Mars. Our tourists who visited there do not believe that such a miracle of nature can be real! Guests come from the excursion with a whole series of photographs and unforgettable impressions! In addition, you will definitely get acquainted with the culture of the Bedouins, who for the most part represent the indigenous population of the Sinai Peninsula. A culture that is not always clear to us and evokes different emotions, but you definitely won’t be able to forget getting to know them!

Dear guests, please note:
– Reservations for excursions are made at least one day before the expected date of travel
– The order of visiting the places indicated in the excursion program is decided by your guide on the spot
– Quad biking in Dahab – +10$ per person
